"And we were up there not thinking about what we were doing." Bryant put the Pilots up 2-0 when he jumped on a Perez fastball for a two-run homer in the second inning. But Evans, who pitched for the old Spirit club in 1990, couldn't make the lead stick. Figga halved Evans' advantage with a solo homer to right-center to lead off the bottom of the inning before Evans made his escape. Phillips tagged him for another solo shot in the third to tie the score 2-2. Sean Twitty broke the stalemate in the fourth inning, scoring Manny Martinez from second with a single to left.

Chris Widger evened the game in the seventh when he crushed a solo homer that just stayed fair as it hooked high over the left-field foul screen. San Bernardino took the lead right back when Figga bunted Twitty home in the bottom of the inning to make the score 4-3. Perez (nine innings, seven hits, six strikeouts, two walks) was one out away from the complete game and the win, but Bryant doubled home Fred McNair to send the game into extra innings. Tim Davis earned his third save for Riverside (16-13). Spirit Note The Spirit have won four consecutive games or more only twice this season.

They had a four-game streak and a five-game streak way back in April. San Bernardino's Steve Shoemaker (6-2) will face Riverside's Jim Gutierrez (7-7) at 7:05 tonight at Fiscalini Field to conclude the series and the homestand. By Jason Foster Special to The Sun SAN BERNARDINO New life does a lot for a team. Men left on base do nothing. The Spirit saw these two axioms materialize Wednesday night at Fiscalini Field as it fell to the Riverside Pilots 7-4 in 11 innings in front of 1,453 fans.

Carlos Perez had a 4-3 lead and was one out away from defeating the Pilots, but he couldn't quite finish it. Craig Bryant, the last man standing between Perez and his third complete game this year, smashed a run-scoring double with two out in the top of the ninth to tie the game 4-4. Riverside, back from the brink, then ripped reliever Jim Ferguson (2-3) for three runs in the top of the 11th. The loss snapped the Spirit's modest three-game win streak. It is 12-15 in the second half.

A day after amassing a season-high 19 hits, the Spirit bats returned to earth Wednesday. Despite solo home runs from Michael Figga and Steve Phillips, they got only eight hits and were O-for-5 with the bases loaded. They left 12 men on base, seven in scoring position. "Those bases-loaded (situations) hurt us," Spirit manager Greg Mahlberg said. "We also had a runner at third in the eighth.

You've got to drive in those people." The Spirit had the bases loaded in the second inning with no out and in the seventh with one out. In the second. Pilots starter Dave Evans struck out the side, and in the seventh, reliever Jeff Borski (3-1) got Tim Scott to pop out and Ray Cervantes to All Season Steel Belted Whitewall P15580R13 37.41 P16580R13 40.76 P17580R13 42.23 P18580R13 43.23 P18575R14 45.72 P19575R14 46.67 P20575R14 51.08 P21575R14 54.54 P20575R15 53.06 P21575R15 54.94 P22575R15 57.94 P23575R15 60.07 All Season Steel Belted WW Made in the U.S.A.

The Mavericks (16-11 second half, 60-35 overall) couldn't do a thing with Rockies starter John Burke, but Duke was another matter altogether.

Tavarez scored on Tim Clark's single that followed Toale's hit. Toale came home to make it 4-3 when Scott Samuels hit into a double play.
