Seals Deal Knights 9-4 Defeat
Dan Thomas left his imprint on the 9-4 California win against the Ottawa Knights. Thomas, the 17th overall pick in the 1966 draft, was 1 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Picking up the win was Dalton Hewitt. He went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits. The right--hander struck out 6 and walked 3. Pedro Hernández nailed down his 4th save.

An impactful at-bat came in the top of the fourth inning. With runners on 1st and 3rd, the batter, Dalton Hewitt, reached on an error by the 3B, driving in 1 run. It made the score 4-3, California, and helped them go on to win.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Thomas told the California Today.

The 8th-place Seals improved to 19-22.
