The Bakersfield Blaze stopped the San Jose Giants, 8-6, at San Jose Municipal Stadium. The Blaze got a big game from Dax Russell, who went 3-5 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Brad Bane snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 3 innings. He's now 5-3 on the season. With the win, the Blaze sit at 78-47.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Russell delivered big-time for Bakersfield, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Alan Melvey. The game-changing hit put the Blaze on top, 7-6.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Bakersfield manager Joe McEwing.
