In a tight Thursday night game, the Sonoma Stompers lost 7-5 to the San Francisco Seagulls after a two run ninth from the visitors. The Stomps came out of the gate hot, scoring two in each of the first two innings, but they weren’t able to keep the momentum, as the Seagulls tied it up in the third inning and Sonoma never regained the lead. The Stomper offense hit the ball well, scoring five runs via seven hits, but too little containment hurt their chances.
Destin Allen-Fox started and had a down night in his three innings of work. After good pitching relatively kept the Seagulls offense quiet after Allen-Fox, it was a tie game into the ninth. But, two walks and a couple of timely hits allowed the Seagulls to score two, giving Ross Goldschlang the loss. In the bottom of the ninth, Cuyler Zukowski got things started with a single, but the next two Sonoma batters were fanned and then the third grounded out to shortstop to end the game.
Six Sonoma batters had hits tonight, two coming from ever consistent Jack Lazark, allowing him to score once. Trent Abel had a first inning hit that scored the first two runs. Paul Contreras added a two run single in the second. In the seventh inning, Tyler Holley singled and scored Contreras to tie the game. Justice Brinson and Cuyler Zukowski also had base knocks on the night.
