After a string of delays, the High Desert Mavericks were able to get back on the field Tuesday for a double-header with the Inland Empire 66ers. Four straight games in Adelanto had been wiped out due to the Cajon Pass fire and then wet weather, until yesterday.
With the first three games of the four-game home series against Inland Empire postponed, the two teams played a double-header yesterday, with IE taking both games, 7-6 and 3-1. That DH included a makeup from May 7 that was postponed due to high winds, and the originally scheduled game.
Today, a scheduled off day for the whole league, High Desert will host a 10:AM game with a host of $1 features for fans.

The San Jose Giants won their sixth-straight game Tuesday, sweeping a four-game set from Lancaster to improve their second-half record to 17-8. San Jose finished 10 games under .500 in the first half at 30-40, 12 games out of first place, but are now just a game behind Visalia in the North Division second-half standings. Reigning Cal League Player of the Week Tyler Horan went 3-for-5 with his 11th homer to lead the offense while Luis Ysla came into the game at the start of the second inning and didn’t allow a hit over five frames.
LHP Sean Newcomb threw six shutout innings Tuesday night as the Inland Empire 66ers blanked the Lake Elsinore Storm 5-0. Newcomb (6-1) is the Los Angeles Angels’ top organizational prospect per MLB.com and was the 15th overall pick in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft.
