Catcher Bryan Arendt’s home run helped the Ports win in a walk-off on Wednesday. With the scored tied heading into the bottom of the 9th, this year’s 13th-round draft pick for the A’s stepped to the plate to lead off the inning for Stockton and promptly slugged a solo shot over the left field fence to bring the game to a sudden end and send Lake Elsinore down to defeat. Arendt also doubled and drew a walk in the game. Center fielder Bobby Blandford singled twice and drove in a run, while right fielder Gavin Turley doubled and scored a run for Stockton. Starter Jefferson Jean threw 4 scoreless frames, while this year’s 18th-round pick, RHP Jay Dill, gave up 2 runs in 1 inning of work in his professional debut. RHP Wilfred Alvarado threw 3 scoreless innings in relief, and RHP Alejandro Manzano struck out the side in order in the top of 9th to pick up the win for the Ports.
