Recap:
Moore who has pitched in Midland, Kane County and now Stockton started the game.
He gave up 3 runs all in the second, where he certainly didn't help his cause.
The inning started with a single to left.  The next batter is called out on strikes.
Next batter singles to left.  Moore then throws a WP and both runners move up 90
feet.  After the WP the batter singles and runner on 3rd scores, runner on second
advances to 3rd.  Moore throws another WP, runner on 3rd scores, runner on second
advances.  A double scores the running on 3rd and that's how the Nuts scored their
first 3 runs.  They wouldn't score until the 9th where the Nuts once again helped
by the Ports.  Heuser walks the lead off hitter, the runner advances on a failed PO
attempt, and by that time was there any doubt he'd end up scoring the winning run?
Nope, I guess that's just baseball as the Ports fell 4-3 to Modesto.
.
Carter hit his 30th homerun... man if he can ever get his glove work straigtened out
he could be the answer to the A's 3rd base woes.  But until that happens, he'll be in
line for the DH spot.  Spencer hit his 6th since coming over in the Blanton trade.
Donaldson hit a triple!  Cardenas was promoted to Midland.
