Blaze 10, Rawhide 5
At Sam Lynn Ball Park
It was over when: Successive two-out singles by Jose Felix and David Pisano and Davis Stoneburner turned a 3-3 tie into a 6-3 lead in the fourth.
W--Kennil Gomez (4-9)
L--Tom Layne (4-2)
Today: Blaze (Richard Bleier, 5-8, 5.25 ERA) at Visalia (Christian Beltre, 3-8, 6.89 ERA), 7:05 p.m.
What's burning: Blaze relievers Beau Jones and Ryan Falcon held Visalia to only two base runners over the final four innings. ... With 294 strikeouts in 775 at-bats, Ian Gac is 1 strikeout shy of tying the Bakersfield franchise record for strikeouts. (Aaron Clark struck out 295 times in 973 at-bats in 2002-2003). Teammate Mauro Gomez has 264 strikeouts and ranks No. 4 all-time.
