The longest game in the Minors on Saturday was a 13-inning affair in Stockton, California. And it was a disappointing game for the home team.
Anthony Contreras drove home Emmanuel Burriss with a two-out single in the top of the 13th inning to send the San Jose Giants to a thrilling 8-7 victory over the Stockton Ports Saturday evening at Banner Island Ballpark. The Giants and Ports battled for three hours and 58 minutes with San Jose notching their third consecutive win to open the season. Ryan Paul worked the final two innings on the mound for the Giants, including a perfect bottom of the 13th, to seal the victory.
