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.

Robert Swindle

Just because I'm fascinated with the guy!

Was there really any doubt he would be a lefty and from Canada?.

BTW for those of you who don't read the ESPN message board, he has a
low 80's fastball and a 52mph curve.  He's 24 and has bounced around
the independent leagues, Boston's system and now is with the Phillies
double A affliate.  He's not even listed on their official website
roster, so I have no idea if he's even on their 40 man.  I nominate
Swindle as the ultimate moneyballer.

Meyer got back into the starting rotation and had a quality start throwing
103 pitches (65 for strikes) in 6 innings allowing 3 earned while striking
out 6 and walking only 1.  Gary came in from the pen and got the loss,
allowing 2 earned in 2 innings as the Cats fell 5-3.  Buck had one hit in
the lead off spot as his struggles at the plate continue. The good news is
Cargo was in the lineup or at least played in the field.  He did not have an
AB or PA.  Petit drove in one on two singels.
