Offense Erupts for Dominant Win over Inland Empire

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – An offensive onslaught and stingy pitching from the Ports powered them to an 11-2 win over Inland Empire on Thursday night, banging out a season-high 11 runs and 17 hits to move to .500 at 9-9.

Ali Camarillo set a season-high with four hits and five RBIs to go along with a sac fly to lead the Ports. New catcher Logan Sauve notched his first three-hit game as a pro, and Max Durrington put together a three-hit night as well with two singles and a triple.

Sam Stuhr collected the win with another five-inning start of just one run allowed on three hits and one walk with four punchouts. Corey Braun earned his first professional save with four innings of one-run ball as well with no walks and three strikeouts. Stuhr allowed a leadoff triple to the first batter he faced on the night, and he came in on a sac fly where new shortstop Edgar Montero mad a fantastic over-the-shoulder grab. That’s all Stuhr would allow, and Braun allowed just a solo homer in the ninth to the powerful Korbyn Dickerson.

Stockton tied the game in the top of the second when Camarillo drove in Sauve with a single into left to make it a 1-1 game. The Ports tilted the game in their favor with a four-run fourth, as Camarillo’s RBI single to center gave Stockton the lead at 2-1. Bryan Andrade tripled (3) into right center to score two more and Breyson Guedez singled to left to cap off the four-run frame and put the Ports up 5-1.

They got two more in the fifth on a two-RBI double (4) from Camarillo and another run in the seventh when a Camarillo sac fly to right scored Durrington and made it 8-1. A wild pitch scored another run in the eighth before a two-RBI single for Sauve extended the Stockton lead to 11-1.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS: The 17 hits for the Ports are a season high this year and matched their season high for last season. Stockton went 7 for 21 with runners in scoring position on the night.
