Tustin extended their winning streak to five on Friday, bumping their season record up to 8-13-1 in the process. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 victory over the Fullerton Indians. Five seems to be a good number for the Tillers as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.

Adam Whyte made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over 6.1 innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.

In other batting news, Nyte Teeter was excellent, going 1-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double. Those two RBI gave him a new career-high.

As for Fullerton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-7-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss they have suffered since March 19th.

On Fullerton's side, they got a good showing from Caden Wise, who didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched.

On the hitting side, Fullerton saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Christian Robinson, who went 1-for-2 with one double.

Coming up, Tustin will venture away from home to challenge Ocean View at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Seahawks' pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so the Tillers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Fullerton, they didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, a 7-5 defeat against San Clemente on the 19th.
