NUTS BATS BREAK OUT IN 10-1 WIN OVER RAWHIDE

The middle of the Modesto Nuts batting order was a murderers row on Friday night in a 10-1 win over the Visalia Rawhide at Valley Strong Ballpark. The 2-6 hitters were 11-for-24 with two home runs with Gabriel Gonzalez and Freuddy Batista each collecting three hits.

It was more than enough support for the Modesto pitching staff as four hurlers combined to allow one run on six hits. Starter Tyler Cleveland (W, 4-4) gave up a run on four hits over six innings with no walks and six strikeouts.

Colin Davis hit a first-inning homer, his sixth, to start the scoring. Miguel Perez hit a three-run shot in the fourth, his second homer of the year.

Gavin Conticello went 2-for-5 for the Rawhide and homered for Visalia’s only run. After a slow start to the season, Conticello has batted .310/.396/.643 in June.

The Nuts evened up the six-game series at two games apiece. Game five is Saturday night at 7PM.

MODESTO TAKES SERIES FROM SAN JOSE WITH 7-6 WIN

Modesto broke open a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with five runs, highlighted by RF Alberto Rodriguez‘ two-RBI double. That would be it for the visitors until the 10th inning. Meanwhile, San Jose chipped away, starting with an RBI double by RF Jairo Pomares in the bottom of the fourth.

C Fabian Pena hit his third homer of the year in the fifth inning to make it 5-2, Modesto. 2B Jimmy Glowenke knocked in a pair with a double in the seventh and then hit his eighth homer of the year with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to force extras.

After the two Modesto runs in the top of the 10th, LF Carter Williams singled in the installed runner to make it a 7-6 game. But Nuts right-hander Leon Hunter struck out San Jose 3B Yorlis Rodriguez to end the game.

RHP Jimmy Kingsbury started for Modesto and went 4IP, allowing two runs on six hit, no walks and six strikeouts. LHP Kyle Harrison was San Jose’s starter and he left the game after two strong innings: 0R, 1H, 1BB, 5K. No word at this time why he was pulled.

Modesto is now 47-43, eight games back of San Jose (55-35) for the second playoff spot. The Giants sit five games back of Fresno (60-30) but are still 3 1/2 games ahead of Rancho Cucamonga  (51-38) for the second and final spot.
