Shutout Sends Nuts to 6th Straight Defeat

Visalia, CA. - Two RBI singles were enough to send the Nuts to a 2-0 loss against the Rawhide on Friday night at Recreation Park.

In the second inning, Kevin Medrano and Ronnie Freeman each delivered RBI singles off Nuts (10-31; 33-78) starter Tyler Gagnon (L, 0-2). That was all Brandon Sinnery (W, 10-6) needed in his start for the Rawhide (23-18; 59-52)
