Inland Empire 3 Lancaster 5
Don't let score fool you, the JetHawks dominated this game and completed their 3 game sweep of the 66'ers. Chris Epps (.412) hit 2 for 3 yesterday, had a pair of RBI's and swatted his second home run in Lancaster's last 2 games. George Springer (.303), who'll be playing in the California-Carolina League All-Star Game on Tuesday in North Carolina, collected a couple hits, a couple RBI's and stole a base. Bobby Doran (6-4) snagged his 6th win as he allowed 2 runs on 3 hits over 7.1 innings Saturday. Andrew Robinson collected his 4th save after coming on in the 8th. Robinson struck out one batter.

Oklahoma City 8 Round Rock 5
After being shutout 2 times in their last 3 games, the RedHawks scored 8 runs on Saturday to beat the Express. Armando Galarraga picked up his first win of the year last night as he threw 5 innings (still on a limited pitch count) allowing 2 runs on 3 hits and striking out 1. Aneury Rodriguez pitched 3 strong innings, striking out 2 and allowing only 2 hits. Brad Snyder (.326), Mike Hessman (.292) and Landon Powell (.291) all homered in the game and Scott Moore picked up his 51st RBI. Mike Hessman's homer was his 19th long ball. Jimmy Paredes stole 2 bases in the 5th, collecting his 19th & 20th SB's.

GAME OF THE DAY


Corpus Christi 5 Frisco 0
Saturday night in Corpus was the Jose Cisnero show. Cisnero (4-6) went the whole 9 and threw his first career shutout against Frisco, allowing just 2 hits and striking out 6. Cisnero's shutout was the first in the Texas League this year. Kody Hinze hit a 2 run homer in the 4th for his 8th long ball of the season and 27th RBI. Jonathan Villar went 2 for 5 with a double and collected his 29th RBI. Villar also stole his 30th base of the season last night. Every Hook starter had a hit last night. Carlos Lee finished his rehab stint after 7 innings last night going 2 for 4 and batting .500 in 3 games for the Hooks.

What went right: Two words: Jose Cisnero. Cisnero pitched the first complete game for the Hooks this season and made it a shutout.

What went wrong: Not much went wrong for the Hooks last night. Jon Singleton was the only batter not to collect a hit last night, but that was only because he just had one chance at the plate after coming in to replace Lee in the 8th.

Pitcher of the Day: Jose Cisnero gets the honor today for his stellar performance last night in Frisco, Texas.

Players of the Day: All of the batsmen for the Corpus Christi Hooks get the honor today. With Hinze's long ball last night, the Hooks have now homered in their last 8 games.
