Fontana hadn't done well against Colton recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Wednesday. Fontana came out on top in a nail-biter against Colton, sneaking past 3-2. The win was some much needed relief for the Steelers as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.

Crisitan Ortiz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up nine Ks.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Oscar Martinez, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Another player making a difference was Anthony Benard, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.

Fontana picked up their first home victory, bumping their record up to 3-9. As for Colton, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-9 record this season.

Fontana will have a chance to go back-to-back against Colton: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
