Luis Castro continued the battle by reaching on a single, followed by back-to-back walks by Jess and Steven Cortez to load the bases. With 2 outs and a 1-2 count, Bully Holguin parked his 2-strike pitch over the Left field wall for a Grand Slam, his first HR of the season, to put the Bulldogs ahead 12-10!
