Louro, who credited his wife with doing “all the work for this deal” said the annual ‘Tailgate at an A’s Game’ fundraiser for the Eski Cougar basketball club program features a tailgate party with a full spread and field level seats to the game. A sizeable contingent of Escalon residents made the trek to the contest, supporting the basketball program as they headed to the Coliseum, and watched the Giants salvage the final game of the four-game series, winning 12-6.
