Inland Empire first baseman Norberto Costello was a significant contributor in his team's 9-2 triumph over the Bakersfield Blaze. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for the 66ers. Micah Davidson was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 2 save opportunities. Inland Empire has now won 3 in a row.

Early in the game, Costello had a 2-run triple for Inland Empire. It was his 1st triple of the season and put the 66ers on top, 2-0.

"We'll need a much better effort, the next time out," said losing manager Joe McEwing.
