A+ Inland Empire 66'ers outlasted the San Jose Giants 5-4 in 12 innings:

Heliot Ramos CF- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .307.
Kyle McPherson 2B- 1 for 3, 3B, BB.  BA= .248.
Manuel Geraldo SS- 1 for 5, 3B.  BA= .225.
Tristan Beck RHP- 5.2 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 1.59.
Frank Rubio RHP- 2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 1.75.
Olbis Parra RHP- 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.50.

I attended this game courtesy of the Teamster's Union.  Thanks to whoever came up and gave me and my party 4 tickets.  Heliot Ramos looks a bit.....chunkier?....than would seem to be ideal for a 19 yo, but then so did Mike Trout.  Joey Bart and David Villar struck out 5 times in 10 AB's between them and look to have significant swing and miss in their games.  Joey Bart is a big dude!  Tristan Beck had an impressive looking fastball that ranged from 92-96 MPH on the stadium radar gun.  He may have been throwing both a 2-seam and 4-seam offering.  A slow curve and low 80's changeup both need refining.  Frank Rubio has a funky delivery throwing crossfire from a nearly sidearm slot.  His FB topped out at 89 MPH.  Olbis Parra showed a 94 MPH heater with lots of sink.  He gave up a game-tying HR on a FB up in the zone.
