Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Blaze
The Bakersfield Blaze faced a tough opponent in High Desert pitcher Gabe Converse, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Stater Bros. Stadium by a final score of 5-1. Converse went 6.1 innings and allowed no runs. Alex Cano, credited with the win in relief, is now 3-0. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. The loss drops High Desert to 4-7.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Zack DiPilato? The 24-year old second baseman DiPilato stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put Bakersfield up, 4-1. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"At the end of the day, wins and losses are really the only thing that matters," said DiPilato.
