Colony dropped their record down to 21-4 on Wednesday, which also ended the team's 12-game streak of wins. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (5-4), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Huskies this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 11-1 back in March.

Colony got a good showing from Steven Gonzales, who didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. Gonzales has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Ricardo Zazueta made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 3-for-4 with one triple.

As for South Hills, they are on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 13 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games.

On South Hills' side, Zack Escalera made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Escalera was also big at the plate, going 3-for-5 with one run and one double. Those three hits gave him a new career-high.

In other pitching news, South Hills got a great performance from Joseph Moreno as he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched.

Back at the plate, Diego Villarreal and Ayden Vieth did most of the damage at the plate: Villarreal went 3-for-5 with one run and one double, while Vieth got on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs and one double. That's the most runs Vieth has posted since back in March. Paxton Czubek was another key player, getting on base in two of his five plate appearances with three RBI.

While Colony had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
