STORM BATS OVERCOME RAWHIDE

Friday night in Lake Elsinore the Storm came back from a 2-0 deficit with an onslaught that ran from the fourth inning through the seventh to notch a 9-5 victory. C Luis Camupsano and SS Eguy Rosario both had three hits and two RBI while CF Aldemar Burgos contributed an inside-the-park two-run homer as the Storm raced to victory.

The Rawhide posted single runs in the second and third innings and starter Shumpei Yoshikawa was cruising along through three innings but a two-run uprising for the Storm in the fourth inning started an onslaught that ended with nine runs and 14 hits.

Over the next four innings the Storm notched all nine of their runs and at the end of the night they had tallied four doubles, a triple and Burgos’ inside-the-park homer. RHP Gabe Mosser (2-0) came on in the fourth inning and went 4 1/3 IP allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk with one K to earn the win. Yoshikawa (3-6) took the loss with 4 2/3 IP where he allowed five runs on nine hits with no walks against three strikeouts.

The Storm evened its record in the second-half standing at 16-16 while Visalia held on to first place in the North despite dropping to 18-14.

RAWHIDE, QUAKES EXTEND THEIR LEADS

The four-game weekday series are complete, with a couple of Thursday doubleheaders required due to rain, and the first-place clubs both added a game to their division leads.

The Visalia Rawhide took three of four from second-place Modesto to open up a 10-game lead in the North division while Rancho Cucamonga won three of four at The Hangar in Lancaster to go up by three games in the South.

There were six Cal League games played on Thursday with doubleheaders in Stockton and San Jose. Lake Elsinore took a pair from the Ports, 6-0 and 2-1, while The Giants swept the Inland Empire 66ers, 7-1 and 3-2.

In Visalia’s 1-0 win on Thursday, three Rawhide pitchers combined to shutout the Modesto Nuts with starter Shumpei Yoshikawa going five innings and allowing just one hit and no walks while striking out eight. Cole Bartlett struck out five over three clean innings. Breckin Williams (2-0) pitched a scoreless top of the ninth and LF Mark Karaviotis sent everyone home with a walk-off homer in the bottom of the inning.

The Rawhide’s Cal League-best record is now 28-13 with a 17-4 home record.

Meanwhile, the Quakes scored six late runs to overcome a 2-1 deficit and defeat Lancaster by a score of 7-2. Rancho starter Josiah Gray struck out nine Jethawks over five innings while Ryan Moseley (2-2) followed him with two scoreless innings to earn the win. A four-run seventh inning chased Lancaster reliever Nick Kennedy and LF Donovan Casey launched his fourth homer of the season, a two-run shot, in the eighth for insurance.
