Aldine's win was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 14-3. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Benjamin Davis, they now have a losing record of 8-9-1.
