Glenn's 12th Inning Blast Lifts Rawhide to 9th Straight

By
July 26, 2014

VISALIA--Alex Glenn blasted a 3-run homer in the bottom of the 12th inning Friday Night, leading the Visalia Rawhide to a thrilling 4-2 win over the visiting San Jose Giants. The Rawhide remained red-hot, as they were victorious for a 9th consecutive time.

The Giants took a 2-1 lead in the top of the 12th, pushing across the go-ahead run with the help of a Visalia error.

Visalia second basemen Ryan Gebhardt started the winning rally with a bouncing single just over San Jose third basemen Mitch Delfino. Center fielder Breland Almadova singled with one out, setting the stage for Glenn's heroics. The round tripper was Glenn's 19th of the season, and delighted the festive crowd awaiting the Fireworks Extravaganza to follow.

Daniel Gibson (2-1) picked up the win in relief, while Tyler Mizenko (3-3) suffered the loss, and his 2nd blown save in as many nights. Starter Braden Shipley struggled early, but settled in nicely, and finished retiring 10 of the last 11 batters he faced. Shipley pitched 7 innings, fanning 5 Giants batters.

This game might have ended earlier if it were not for some great defensive plays by San Jose outfielders Jesus Galindo and Chuckie Jones. Additionally, Rawhide third basemen Brandon Drury nearly ended the game--twice--in the bottom of the 10th. Drury drove a ball just foul of the right field pole, then hit one to the base of the wall in deep right center, holding off the fireworks celebration for a little longer.

These two teams will be back at it tomorrow, when the Rawhide host another All-American Saturday. Saturday is Military Appreciation Day--half price tickets are available for active and former military personnel--along with Buffalo Wild Wings Weekend. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.
