With the bases loaded off of a pair of singles by Austin Pinorini and Austin Shenton and a walk from Max Flower, Stowers came up to the plate. He demolished a towering drive over the right field to the delight of the fans at Joe Martin Field.

Stowers has been playing extremely well in his time in Bellingham so far. The slam was his fourth home run already this year.

“I’m loving [playing in Bellingham], it’s been the time of my life getting to focus on baseball, and having fun with a bunch of good guys,” said the wavy-haired Stowers, who looks to be having fun in the sun despite the distance from Palo Alto and San Diego.

On Monday night, Stowers scored in the top of the 16th inning on a Colin Ridley single in a 12-10 win over Walla Walla.
