While John F. Kennedy put up plenty of runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for San Antonio Memorial. The Rockets were the clear victors by a 14-0 margin over the Minutemen. The result was nothing new for the Rockets, who have now won seven matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

MAX GARZA was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched. He also tossed a walk, which is notable because John F. Kennedy is 4-2 when he allows at most two walks, but 4-8 otherwise. GARZA was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on JORGE PINA, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three stolen bases, five RBI, and three runs. He is becoming a predictor of John F. Kennedy's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-10 when he doesn't). BAYRON CRUZ also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.

John F. Kennedy's win ended a four-game drought on the road and puts them at 8-10. As for San Antonio Memorial, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-9-1 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. John F. Kennedy is set to challenge their familiar foe Gonzales at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, San Antonio Memorial will take on rival Cuero at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
