Rojas singled in a run later in the inning to make it 6-0 and the 19-year old from the Dominican Republic capped off Visalia’s scoring with a two-run homer in the eighth inning, his second of the season.
Yan (W, 1-9) threw 82 pitches in his six innings (52 strikes) and gave up three hits with no walks while punching out nine. Armando Vasquez threw two innings of relief with no hits, two walks and four strikeouts.
