Bloomquist Makes Difference

Willie Bloomquist, who was promoted to triple-A Tacoma for two weeks, returned to the JetHawks on Sunday and made an immediate impact in an 8-6 victory over San Bernardino. He had a run-scoring triple in the fifth inning, tied the game in the seventh when he scored after a walk, two wild pitches and a steal, and delivered a game-winning, two-run double in the eighth.
