On the other end of the success scale, Dusty Robinson goes 0 for 8 with 7 strikeouts for the Stockton Ports of the California League in his team’s 11 – 9 win over the Lake Elsinore Storm. Pitcher Wade Kirkland hits a walk-off two-run homer to end the game. Robinson is the first player to strike out seven times in a game since Russ Laribee did so in the longest game in Organized Baseball history on April 18, 1981; Laribee needed 12 plate appearances over 33 innings to accumulate all of those Ks, however.
