In Arizona: Lou Palmisano went 0-for-2, Lorenzo Cain went 0-for-4, and Alexandre Periard got smoked to the tune of six runs on nine hits in 2.1 innings as the Javelinas lost their eighth straight, 11-4 to Surprise. David Welch and Omar Aguilar each threw a perfect inning of relief with one strikeout.
The Javelinas travel to Surprise at 1:35 today. Expect the unexpected.

The CaneFires are off today to consider how ties affect the integrity of the game. They host North Shore tomorrow.
