Fresno home runs: A.J. Reed (10, solo in 9th)
Both teams recorded 5 hits and scored a run in the 9th, but the difference in this game was a run in the 1st inning for Fresno.
A.J. Reed served as the one-man show on offense; he opened the scoring with a sac fly in the 1st inning and hit a solo home run in the top of the 9th. Andrew Aplin, who scored on the sac fly, finished 2-4 and was the only player on either side to record a multi-hit game.
Tommy Shirley pitched 6 shutout innings and allowed 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 5. In his PCL debut, Brendan McCurry struck out 2 over 2 perfect innings. James Hoyt was greeted rudely by Stefen Romero, who hit a solo homer off of him to lead off the bottom of the 9th. However, that would be the only hit that Hoyt would surrender in the inning as he recorded his 16th save of the season. He struck out 1 in the 9th.

Conrad Gregor ripped an RBI ground-rule double in the 4th inning to put the Hooks on the board. Corpus and San Antonio both scored a run in the 6th; the Hooks' run came in the form of an RBI single from J.D. Davis.
Gregor led off the top of the 11th with another double. Roberto Peña joined him on the bases by smacking a double of his own, and Alejandro Garcia put the Hooks in the lead with a 2-run single. Garcia advanced to 3rd on a Teoscar Hernandez groundout and scored on a passed ball.
Davis (RBI, 2 BB), Gregor (2 2B, RBI, R), and Garcia (2 RBI, R) all finished with 2 hits in the game. There was a scary moment in the 8th as Alex Bregman was hit in the helmet by a pitch. Fortunately, he tweeted out that he's alright. He was taken out of the game as a precaution.

It took a little over six hours, but the ValleyCats emerged victorious despite the Cyclones' bid to win the game in the bottom of the 17th.
Tri-City scored 2 in the 3rd inning as Stephen Wrenn hit an RBI single and Daz Cameron scored on a botched pickoff attempt.

Tri-City responded by scoring a run in the 7th on a sac fly from Wrenn, and in the 8th on an RBI double from Jake Rogers that tied the game at 6. That was where the scoreline stood until the 17th inning.
Although Chuckie Robinson was thrown out at 3rd base trying to stretch a double into a triple, Kolbey Carpenter was able to take his place on the bases with a single. He moved to 3rd on a Marcos Almonte double, and Cameron put the ValleyCats in the lead with a 2-run single. One batter later, Wrenn smacked a 2-run home run, his 2nd of the season.
Everyone in the lineup recorded a hit; Wrenn (2-R HR, 4 RBI), Benedetti (2B, 2 RBI) and Almonte (2 2B, R) all finished with 3 hits in the game. Wrenn and Almonte also stole a base; Wrenn now has 4 steals, while Almonte has 2 stolen bases.
