Nobles Topple Rocks with Late Rally
The Bakersfield Nobles scored a 6-3 win versus the Plymouth Rocks at Jerome Grounds. Bakersfield pitcher John Kirk nabbed top player honors in the tight contest. Bakersfield reliever José Sánchez was the winner. His record is now 3-0. Robert Neal took the loss. The slumping Rocks have lost 6 straight.

Bakersfield took a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning, when Stephen Dowell hit a clutch 3-run home run to bring Nobles fans to their feet.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play ever better," said Bakersfield manager James Wheeler.
