Godfrey, who has been in 8 games and used primarily as a reliever, seems to
like pitching better as a starter.  Allowing 5 hits and one earned run, on
a homer, he pitched 6 innings as the Ports beat Modesto 8-5.  Demel and
Farley combined to shutout the Nuts for 3 as the Ports got 3 in the 11th
and Farley got the W.  The hitting hero has to go to Carter who hit his
league leading 10th homer, a three run jimmy jack for the victory, scoring
Horton and Doolittle.  Kudos go to Gilbert who collected 3 hits and a rbi,
Horton who scored in the 11th and hit a double and single, Morris who hit a
homer (adding to his eye popping 1.053 OPB - good for 3rd in the CA League)
and Mitchell who scored, hit a double and drew 2 walks.
.

Speaking of Morris, the league notebook had this to say about him: "If all C
Jed Morris had done this year was take the field every day behind home plate,
it would already be one of the feel-good stories of the year as he returns
from leukemia, which put baseball on the back burner for 18 months. What
Morris has done at the plate has been remarkable, no matter what the situation.
Despite seeing a 16-game hitting streak (best in the league this season) snapped
on May 1, he has posted a 1.048 slugging percentage this week and led the league
with three homers and 12 RBIs. Overall, his .667 slugging percentage was fifth in
the league and he single-handedly kept his team's six-game winning streak alive on
April 29 with a decisive RBI double in an 8-7 victory over Visalia. He'd homered
earlier in the game and had two triples and four RBIs the following night in an
11-10 loss that ended the streak.".

Go Jeb!
