Posted on May 29, 2022 by | Comments Off on STOCKTON HOLDS OFF FRESNO 10-8 AS TEAMS TRADE SLAMS LATE

Nick Brueser‘s eighth-inning grand slam proved just enough for Stockton to outlast the Fresno Grizzlies in a wildly entertaining game on Saturday night at Chuckchansi Park. Brueser’s blast gave the Ports a late 10-4 lead, but the home team got a slam of its own from Trevor Boone in a long bottom of the ninth inning before falling just short in a 10-8 Stockton win.

The Ports got on the board first in the second inning with a three-run rally started by a Junior Perez single. Back-to-back doubles by T.J. Schofield-Sam and Robert Puason made it 2-0 before Max Muncy made it 3-0 with an RBI single.

PINEDA’S 3-RUN HOMER POWERS STOCKTON’S 6-5 WIN IN FRESNO

Posted on May 27, 2022 by | Comments Off on PINEDA’S 3-RUN HOMER POWERS STOCKTON’S 6-5 WIN IN FRESNO

The Stockton Ports put up four runs in the second inning and held on for a 6-5 win in Fresno on Thursday night. The visitors used three singles and a Pedro Pineda three-run shot to open up an early 4-0 lead and went on to win for the seventh time in their last 11 games.

The Grizzlies came back with two runs in the third inning on a fielder’s choice and a Braiden Ward steal of home on ball four to the batter where the throw needlessly went to second base as Warming Bernabel was “stealing” second base, to make it 4-2, Stockton.

The Ports took a 6-3 lead to the bottom of the ninth and Fresno struck for two runs but stranded the tying run on third base. Ward doubled in a run to make it 6-4 with runners on second and third and one out. A groundout brought in another run to make it 6-5 with Ward on third.

Stockton reliever Hunter Breault then induced a ground ball back to the box which ultimately got the final out.

Luke Anderson (W, 2-2) went 5 1/3 innings with 2 runs allowed, but 0 ER, on one hit and six walks, striking out three. Breault got the shaky save for his eventful ninth inning.

Stockton’s Junior Perez was 2-3 with a triple. T.J. Schofield-Sam was 2-4 with a double.

Fresno won the first two games and Stockton now looks to even the series on Friday night at 6:50.
