Todd Gelatka picked up his league-leading 13th save after blowing an opportunity for the first time this year in his last appearance Friday. Half-credit for No. 13 should be given to shortstop Jesse Kovacs. On a lined shot by Mark Okano with one on and one out, Kovacs pretty much milked every last centimeter out of his vertical leap to knock down what certainly would have been a single and maybe even run-tying double.
Gelatka, the former Flyer, wouldn't buckle afterward. He struck out reigning GBL MVP Peanut Williams and Johnny Coit to end a come-from-behind win over the Flyers — the fifth in six games for Chico at home against Orange County.
