Bakersfield Drops Another One, 7-4
The San Jose Giants downed the Bakersfield Blaze, 7-4. The hitting star was center fielder Bob Tucker. Tucker went 3-3 with 3 singles and 2 walks for the Giants. Dan Groves, the winning pitcher, improved to 3-2. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 9 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 2. San Jose has won 3 straight, while Bakersfield has lost 6 in a row.

It could have been a different outcome for San Jose, had it not been for Jorge Morales, the 22-year old shortstop . Morales contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put San Jose up, 6-4.

"We had some nice at-bats at the right time," said Giants manager Steve Liddle.
