Sebasti?n Moreno spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four earned runs on nine hits and racked up nine Ks. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Isaak Perez and Noah Flores did most of the damage at the plate: Perez went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double, while Flores went 1-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most runs Flores has posted since back in April. Marco Reyes was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three runs and one stolen base.
Montgomery was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .387. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Olympian). They were the clear victors by a 10-3 margin over Mater Dei Catholic on Monday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest victory the Eagles have posted against the Crusaders since April 9, 2024.
Aaron Gonzalez made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over 5.2 innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Olympian is 7-3 when he allows at most one earned run, but 6-10 otherwise. Gonzalez was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with two RBI and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Esteban Diaz, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Olympian's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 8-13 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Hector Peralta, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and two RBI.
Montgomery's record is now 13-11. As for Olympian, the win got them back to even at 13-13.
Montgomery beat Olympian 5-1 in their previous meeting two weeks ago. Do the Aztecs have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Eagles turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
