Fresno 7, Salt Lake 4
W- Trent Thornton (3-2)
L- Greg Belton (0-1)
S- James Hoyt (1)
Fresno home runs: Kyle Tucker (3, 2-run in 5th), A.J. Reed (5, 2-run in 8th)
The Bees made it a one-run game in the 8th, but A.J. Reed smacked a home run to give Fresno some much-needed breathing room.
Trent Thornton went 6.2 innings and allowed three runs on six hits, walked one, and struck out six. Buddy Boshers got the final out of the 7th and the first out of the 8th, both via strikeout; he allowed an unearned run, which was an inherited runner charged to him, on two hits. James Hoyt allowed the run that was charged to Boshers to score when he committed a balk in the 8th. It was a rather drama-free outing for Hoyt outside of the balk as he retired all five Bees he faced, striking out one. Boshers also had to bat for himself because Drew Ferguson and Kemp both got tossed in the 5th inning and Jon Kemmer, who was serving as the DH, had to move in to play right field, so Fresno had to relinquish the DH after the ejections. It also meant that Tim Federowicz made his first career appearance at second base in his ten-year professional career.
Cy Sneed faces Ivan Pineyro in game 2 of this series. First pitch is at 1:05 Pacific.
Corpus Christi 9, Midland 3
W- Ryan Hartman (2-1)

Corpus stormed out of the gate with a touchdown in the first inning and they also recorded a safety as they cruised to a Saturday night victory.
Myles Straw and Josh Rojas led off the 1st with singles and they successfully performed a double steal. Taylor Jones walked to load the bases for Carmen Benedetti, who opened the scoring with a two-run double. Randy César followed with an RBI single and Ryne Birk got plunked to re-load the bases for Nick Tanielu, who came through with an RBI single. César scored on a passed ball, but Jamie Ritchie walked to load the bases once more. Alex De Goti grounded into a double play, but Birk scored, and Straw hit an RBI single in his second plate appearance of the inning. De Goti hit an RBI single in the 5th and Benedetti smacked an RBI double in the 6th.
Benedetti, Tanielu, and Rojas all finished with three hits on the evening. Straw, who went 2-5, now has 21 stolen bases on the year, while Rojas has 15.

Ronnie Dawson ripped an RBI double to score Angarita and Toro added an RBI single to his ledger.
