Jacob Sixtos made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 12 over six innings pitched. Those 12 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three runs, one double, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Chavez's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 9-11-1 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jose Agredano, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI and one stolen base. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Benji Perez, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI.
Chavez was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .417. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .308 or higher in six consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for McLane, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They blew past Caruthers 11-2 on Friday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Highlanders needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.
Max Corona was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs.
In other pitching news, Gio Morales tossed a big game, pitching five innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances.
Chavez's victory bumped their record up to 15-11-1. As for McLane, their win bumped their record up to 15-13-1.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Chavez has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like McLane struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Chavez suffered a grim 11-3 defeat to McLane when the teams last played back in March of 2018. Will the Titans have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
