He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Durango kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in 12 consecutive games.

Durango pushed their record up to 23-6 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Western, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-9 record this season.
