Welcome back to another installment of the Midshipman’s Log, catching you up with what happened on the Mariners farm this week. This week was a little goofy, with teams playing on Monday, the usual off-day, and taking Tuesday off instead, in order to take advantage of that sweet sweet Fourth of July box office traffic. We’ll cover Monday’s games in next week’s installment, meaning you’ll have to wait to hear about Modesto hanging 20 runs on Stockton in a Fourth of July offensive firework show of their own. But speaking of dem Nuts:
Charged-up Second Half Nuts (37-38) take series from San Jose (45-30), 4-2
The Nuts came out swinging in Game 1, hanging 11 runs on the Giants’ pitching staff and doing so despite missing Jonatan Clase (out with an illness for most of this series), and only getting one hit from Edwin Arroyo and nothing from Harry Ford at the top of the lineup.
