night Santa Marla jumped on top 7-0 early The Blues came back to make It 7-6 but that was as dose as they would get TThe loss was a form of motivation for the first said Bobby Maitla the pitching coach turned pitcher-for-a-day "These kids have a lot of pride and they dunl like losing San Luis Obispo set out to atone for that loss early on Helping the reuse was Indians starting pitcher Andrew Perry After an easy first Inning Perry suddenly lost control and walked six batten in the second The Blues batted around before there was even an out and ended up scoring eight runs on Just four hits In the top of the sixth inning the Blues started to solve reliever Justin Cuellac They started the inning with four straight hits including a tworun double by Hernandez After Morales drove in another run on sgroundout the Indians sent in reliever Jeff Draper The Blues greeted him by getting the next five batten on board culminating in a Del DeSamparo two-run double Molldor would put the finishing touches to an 11-run inning with his homer over the right field fence Not that the Blues needed much offense with Hanlon on the mound The only nm he allowed was when a ground ball took a bad bounce over DeSam para's head at second with a runner on second San Luis Obispo hod been losing piaym in the post few days and it showed when It were forced to start Mattia on the mound for the second game His batterymate was retching coach Ibdd Coburn wen thin on pitching since most of our staff Blues manager Craig Conklin sail had Joey Baker but he's pitching (tonight) so we couldn't use him That left Zac Fields who threw four Innings (Saturday) night So wa had to go with Santa Maria put Its coach Todd Johnson on the mound However he had the benefit of having most of his pitching etaff stLH available After three inninp both conches bad allowed only two runs Johnson then sent In Steve Brown In the fourth tad the Bhici were breed to stick with Maitla As a result the Indians got two runs in
