Modesto Tacks 6-1 Loss on Bakersfield
The 2026 season began for the Bakersfield Blaze with a loss to the Modesto Nuts at Historic Sam Lynn Ballpark. The final score was 6-1. Modesto pitcher Jon Baldwin had a fine performance. In 5.2 innings, Baldwin surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. Bhu Laput wrapped it up, recording his 1st save.

Modesto used a clutch at-bat from Dave Norman to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Nuts ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Norman.
