Matt Cain dominated striking out 12 Simi Valley batters and catcher Mike
Napoli had 3 base hits as the SoCal Wildfires beat the Simi Valley Vikings in
12 innings by a score of 4 to 3.
 
The score was knotted at 3 after nine innings.  SoCal won the game in the 12th
inning.  Edwin Encarnacion laced a one-base hit.  Ramon Santiago stepped up
next and he laid down a sacrifice bunt.  B.J. Upton then drew a walk.  Dan
Uggla was next to bat, but he was a strikeout victim.  Matt Holliday stepped
into the box and drew a walk to load the bases.  Napoli extended the rally
and drew a walk.  SoCal finished with 10 hits in the victory.  
 
The victory went to Cain(3-2) who went 11 innings, allowing 3 runs. Joel
Peralta preserved the game for Cain, recording his his 1st.  Steve
Cishek(1-1) suffered the loss in relief.  
 
Cain didn't realize how many strikeouts he was racking up.  When told he had
12 he was obviously surprised, 'No kidding? Man, I knew that I had a decent
total, but I didn't think I had K'd that many.  Say, that's pretty good,
isn't it?'
