Nobles Need Extra Frames to Get Past Pajaritos
Pitching was the name of the game in a tight contest between the Bakersfield Nobles and the Norfolk Pajaritos. Bakersfield won it, 2-1. Bakersfield starter Victor Jones was in command. The winner was Bakersfield reliever Juan Sánchez, now 5-6. The loser was Dan Smith. The first-place Nobles have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Bakersfield center fielder Luis Macazaga, facing Dan Smith, had a run-scoring single. It gave the Nobles the 2-1 win.

"This place was jumping at the end," Macazaga said.
