Modesto Takes Round 1
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat were on full display tonight at John Thurman Field as the Round 1 stretched to the final game.

It was the Modesto Nuts feeling the thrill of victory, with a 7-0 win over the Bakersfield Blaze, who were feeling the devastation of coming up short in their quest to make the Round 2.

"There's no way around it -- this sucks," said Bakersfield manager Jerry Zuniga. "Congratulations to Modesto, but I won't sugarcoat it, no one is happy about anything that transpired here tonight."

Instrumental in the 3-2 series win was left fielder Jimmy Vidito, who was named MVP. He hit .412 with a .500 on-base percentage. He had 1 home runs, drove in 6 RBI and scored 2 runs.

"We've got the most important stat of all and that's this final win -- that's the one that matters," he said.

The Modesto Nuts will play against the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in the next round. Rancho Cucamonga won their series against the Lancaster JetHawks 3 games to 0. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
