Blaze Lose, 11-3, at Stater Bros. Stadium
The High Desert Mavericks defeated the Bakersfield Blaze, 11-3, in part because of shortstop Bobby Schultz. Schultz went 3 for 5 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 for the Mavericks. The winning pitcher was Eric Hall. His record now stands at 3-2. The right-hander went 6.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 11 hits for the Mavericks. Jerry Preston recorded the save, his 3rd.

The game turned with one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Schultz hit a run-scoring single off Dylan Turner. It propelled the Mavericks into the lead, 4-3.

High Desert manager Vance Wilson commended his team for "putting the hammer down."

The Mavericks have now reeled off 6 straight wins.
