MODESTO -- The Cal League improved to 7-6 with two ties in the series by taking down the Carolina League 6-1 before 5,082 fans at John Thurman Field on Tuesday. It was the third straight win by the Cal League. It was the most runs and largest margin of victory since the Cal League's 10-5 win in 2007.

The trio of Quakes in the game all contributed. Here's the bottom line:

Quakes LF Angelo Songco: 0 for 1 with a sacrifice fly to deep center in the Cal League's 4-run third.

Quakes C Gorman Erickson: 0-1 with a walk and a run scored in the third inning.

Quakes SS Jake Lemmerman: 1 for 3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI. He had one of only two extra-base hits in the game. Made several nice plays in the field, including throwing out a runner at the plate on a relay from Josh Fellhauer in the eighth. He was also charged with the Cal League's only error .

San Jose CF Gary Brown (Diamond Bar HS): 1 for 4 with a single, run scored and an RBI

Bakersfield LF Josh Fellhauer (Rancho Cucamonga HS): 1 for 2 and started the play in throwing a runner out at the plate on a double in the eighth.

66ers RHP David Carpenter: After arriving in Modesto, he was told he was promoted to Double-A Arkansas, so he did not get to pitch in the game. He was not replaced on the roster by another 66er player, so no Sixer got to play in the game

It's hot here in Modesto for the all-star game, reaching triple digits

San Jose's Gary Brown, a Diamond Bar High alum, is batting leadoff and playing center field. Rancho Cucamonga High's Josh Fellhauer, a Bakersfield outfielder, will be coming off the bench.

Lancaster's Kody Hinze just won the Home Run Derby, beating Winston-Salem's Ian Gac in the finals.

Reliever David Carpenter, the lone 66er named to the team, was promoted to Double-A Arkansas on Monday, leaving the Sixers with no players in the game.
