SAN BERNARDINO (AP) — Jahmai Jones hit a run-scoring double in the sixth inning, leading the Inland Empire 66ers to a 10-8 win over the Stockton Ports on Thursday.
Mike Kaelin allowed a run, but got Brallan Perez to hit into a forceout with a runner on first to end the game for his first save of the season.
The double by Jones, part of a two-run inning, gave the 66ers an 8-7 lead before Jo Adell hit an RBI double later in the inning.
The 66ers tacked on another run in the eighth when Alberto Triunfel scored on an error.
Julian Leon homered and singled, scoring a couple of runs while also driving home two for Inland Empire.
In the losing effort, Stockton got contributions throughout its order, as five players picked up at least a pair of hits. Nate Mondou tripled, doubled and singled, scoring three runs while also driving in three.
Brett Hanewich (2-0) got the win in relief while Andrew Tomasovich (1-1) took the loss in the California League game.
