Zachary Velasquez posted a new career-high in strikeouts on Thursday. He struck out five batters over six innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits (and only one walk). He is becoming a predictor of Salinas's success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is 3-1 (and 4-10 when he doesn't).

Velasquez's effort led Salinas over Monterey and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Dores are limping into the matchup having lost four straight on the road. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Velasquez and the Cowboys have enough to stop it?
