Posted on September 15, 2014 by CLH | Comments Off

The Visalia Rawhide pounded out 13 hits for an 11-3 win Saturday night in Lancaster to force a deciding Game 5 tonight against the Jethawks. Alex Glenn and Raul Navarro homered and knocked in three runs apiece as the Rawhide staved off elimination.

The 2014 California League champion will be crowned tonight. Lancaster is looking for its second title in three years while Visalia is trying to Reverse The Curse, which goes all the way back to 1978.

The Jethawks held a 2-1 lead through five innings before the Rawhide started hitting the ball all over the yard. Two runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh put Visalia up 5-2. Then the game was blown open with a six-run seventh inning. Spencer Arroyo went 6 2/3 innings for the win while Keith Hessler and Enrique Burgos finished it off.

Tonight’s deciding Game 5 starts at 6:30PM at The Hangar in Lancaster.

ROAD TRIP: VISALIA

Posted on June 1, 2014 by CLH | Comments Off

Visalia sits just about dead-center of the sprawling California League, a couple of hundred miles south and east of San Jose and about 250 miles north of Lake Elsinore. Saturday night I took the trip down Hwy 99 to Recreation Park to see the Rawhide take on the Lake Elsinore Storm and it was a true California League game on the field. The weather couldn’t have been better and the park was jammed with 2,623 fans who saw a real fireworks show, early and late.
