Chávez Powers Blaze to 8-3 Win
Led by Juan Chávez, the Bakersfield Blaze defeated the Modesto Nuts, 8-3. Chávez went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Blaze. Bakersfield has now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Gerald Phillipson? The Bakersfield right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Blaze on top, 3-0. For the game, Phillipson had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Bakersfield manager Joe McEwing.
