Taylor Helps Mavericks Beat Blaze, 9-8
The High Desert Mavericks saddled the Bakersfield Blaze with a loss at Stater Bros. Stadium. The final score was 9-8. Mike Taylor was 3 for 3, including 2 singles and 1 home run. The High Desert shortstop scored 2 runs and drove in 4. High Desert now owns a record of 54-64.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Brad Hussey came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Bakersfield pitcher Stefan Theodorakis, he hit a 2-0 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting High Desert on top, 9-8.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Mavericks manager Vance Wilson. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
