Fresno (38-25)

Fresno could have stopped in the 1st. They could have, and had they done so, they still would have beaten Salt Lake, 1-0. They could have stopped in the 2nd, and won 2-0. They could have stopped in the 4th and won 5-0. They could have stopped in the 6th and won 9-0. They could have stopped in the 7th and won 12-0. But they kept playing until the 9th, and beat Salt Lake 17-0, out-hitting them 27-7.

Mike Hauschild made his Triple-A debut and threw 5.1IP, 3H/0ER, 4K:4BB; Mitch Lambson allowed 3H/0ER, 3K:0BB in 2.2IP, and James Hoyt allowed a hit in the 9th.

Okay. Alex Presley was 5x5 with a walk, two stolen bases, and 4RBI. Jonathan Villar (3B, SB), Matt Duffy (3RBI), and L.J.
