Inland Empire Upended by Bakersfield, 8-6
The Bakersfield Blaze knocked off the Inland Empire 66ers, 8-6, in California League action at Historic Sam Lynn Ballpark. Bakersfield pitcher and Lincolnwood, Illinois, native Eric Herdman had an outstanding performance. The winning pitcher was Herdman, now 2-1. He tossed 5.2 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 7. John Sanborn recorded his 1st save for Bakersfield.

Josh Lucious had a big 2-run double for the Blaze in the bottom of the second inning. With Bakersfield leading 3-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Unknown and swatted a double to left. It was his 5th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Blaze ahead, 5-0.

Lucious told a Bakersfield Chronicle reporter that he was "very pleased" with the win.

With the loss, Inland Empire drops to 9-16.
