But the 16 hits by the River Cats weren’t enough on Wednesday. RHP Jesse Chavez allowed 3 runs on 9 hits over 6 1/3 innings of work and left the game with the lead, but LHP Jordan Norberto allowed 5 straight batters to reach base, 4 of whom scored, without ever recording an out to take the loss as the River Cats dropped their third straight.

(Game-Winning Home Run)

 

In his second start of the season, RHP Blake Hassebrock allowed 2 runs on 5 hits while walking 4 and striking out 7 over 4 1/3 innings on Wednesday. Designated hitter Max Muncy’s 4th home run of the year provided the Ports’ only scoring until the 9th inning, when Stockton scored 2, thanks to a double by Muncy followed by RBI singles by catcher Ryan Ortiz and second baseman Antonio Lamas, to tie the game. With 2 outs in the bottom of the 13th inning, catcher Ryan Delgado slammed a walk-off solo shot to end the game. RHP Pedro Vidal threw 3 scoreless innings in relief and RHP Jonathan Joseph struck out 4 over 2 scoreless innings to earn the win. In other news, shortstop Addison Russell was placed on the 7-day disabled list retroactive to April 7.
