It’s been another great week of baseball in the California League, with the ball flying despite the fact that the extreme heat hasn’t hit us yet. Tonight’s action was typical of the circuit, with the winners scoring 12, 9, 8, 6 and 3 runs. Only one shootout, as High Desert scored 8 runs in a loss, but the weather is heating up and the offenses are getting in gear as well. Here are the final scores from tonight’s action:
IE 8 – Lancaster 3
San Jose 6 – Visalia 2
Lake Elsinore 9 – Rancho Cucamonga 1
Modesto 3 – Stockton 2
Bakersfield 12 – High Desert 8
Those results have impacted the standing as follows:
The Blaze have a 3-game lead on the Rawhide in the North, with the rest of the division back near the .500 mark or below. Meanwhile, Lake Elsinore has a little separation themselves in the South after tonight’s win and the losses of Lancaster and High Desert. The Storm now have a 2-game lead on the Jethawks.
