Extra-Inning Walk-Off Win for Mavericks
In a low-scoring contest between the High Desert Mavericks and the Bakersfield Blaze, 21-year old right-handed pitcher Steve Hankins proved to be the difference. The High Desert right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Mavericks win. High Desert has now won 5 games in a row.

Lou Manning delivered a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the 11th to win it for the Mavericks. For the game, Manning went 2 for 6 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"The crowd was juiced," said Manning.
