The Oaks fell to 2-3 in the California League. Trailing 9-5 entering the bottom of the ninth, and with closer John Thompson on in relief for Lancaster, Visalia rallied for three runs with two out. Eric Danapills, Del Marine and Chris Lemonis all had RBI singles for the Oaks in the rally. Thompson left after giving up Lemonis' hit off the end of the bat, and Tom Szimanski struck out Monday's hero Rodrigo Barajas to end it. Barajas had a game-winning single in the ninth Sunday to beat Lancaster.
Teams get on a roll like that.
Through the first six innings, the JetHawks were the team with the two-out hits. After stranding 39 runners in their last three games, the JetHawks scored seven runs Monday night with two out. The JetHawks went ahead 2-0 in the second. Carlos Villalobos started the inning with a single and Jesus Marquez sacrificed him to second. After Scot Sealy flied out to right, Jason Cook singled Villalobos home for the first run and Luis Molina doubled down the left field line to drive in Cook.
