Mavericks Rally Late to Nip Blaze
The High Desert Mavericks faced a tough opponent in Bakersfield pitcher Ken Day, but found a way to pull out the victory at Historic Sam Lynn Ballpark by a final score of 3-2 in 12 innings. Day went 9 innings and allowed 2 runs. Ben Tucker snagged the win in relief. He goes to 9-4 on the season. Brad Bane suffered the loss. With the win, the Mavericks hiked their record to 67-53.

High Desert used a timely hit from José Muñóz to get the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 12th inning to put the Mavericks ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 6 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Muñóz said after the game.
