Blaze Fight for 6-5 Win
The Bakersfield Blaze had to overcome a big game from Visalia shortstop José Gómez to leave Recreation Park with a victory. And they did, winning, 6-5. Gómez went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI. Derek Ball earned the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.1 innings. He upped his record to 2-0. Bakersfield, now 51-42, holds down second place in the North Division.

Bill McKee chipped in for Bakersfield, stroking a crucial 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning. For the game, the first baseman was 1 for 5 with a double. He drove in 2 runs.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said McKee.
