Game currently in progress.  The Ports scored 4 in the first but haven't crossed
homeplate since. Unfortunately Visalia has since scored 8
.
Updates as they become available.
.
Error on Sulentic, leading to one unearned runs, for a total of three on the night.
Now it is 10-4 (good buddy??).

The postponed game didn't seem to bother Craig Italiano as he pitched five
innings and improved his record to a perfect 4-0.  Italiano struck out 7,
walked 3 and only allowed one hit.  Moore came in and pitched 4 innings
allowing a run as the Cougars beat the Bandits 11-1.  Matt Smith, C, had
five rbis and raised his OPS to .900, scored twice and threw out a runner. 
In the lead off position, Keough walked 4 times and scored trice.  Dowling
scored twice and hit a homer.  Correa, the shortstop hit his first homerun.
.
Obviously the baseball gods that follow the A's read my snarky comment about no
A's shortstop hitting a homer at any level.  Now that's two in just about as many
games.  Now if Pennington jacks one, we'll know for sure there was devine
intervention.

When I was recapping this game, it was still being played.  One thing of
note, The Rockhounds have struck out 19 times.  I'm not going to recap the
offense but the game ended on two throwing errors by Sellers on the last
play of the game and the Rockhounds lost 4-3.

The Ports and Visalia exchanges shut outs over the last two days, unfortunately
for the Ports they were the shut-outees this time around.  As far as I can tell
Heuser made his first start of the season.  Unfortunately it wasn't a very good.
He went 5.1IP and allowed 5 earned on 5 hits, while K'ing 5 and walking 3.
Foulke pitched 2 innings gave up a homer, was charged with a balk, struck out one
and with no walks as the Ports were shut-out and lost of Visalia.
.
Not much offense, obviously, but Horton lead the charge with two hits.
