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?'
