Game notes

Theo Bowe is just beating up the California League. He is now hitting .378 in 27 games with the Blaze. Chad Rogers put together another good start and has his ERA sitting at 2.33 on the year. The Blaze win moves their magic number to 3 for the first half and San Jose is currently losing 12-6 in the 8th. A loss would put the Blaze magic number at 2. Double header today for the Blaze, who if San Jose loses, could wrap up the first half division title with a sweep of the double header.
