Noah Garcia made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off eight hits (and only one walk). Those 11 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.

Garcia wasn't the only one making solid contact as seven players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Ernesto Gonzalez, who scored a run while going 3-for-4. Gonzalez is becoming a predictor of Corpus Christi Moody's success: when he posts at least three hits the team is 3-1 (and 6-10 when he doesn't). Gael Leblanc was another, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Corpus Christi Moody pushed their record up to 9-11 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for King, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost nine of their last ten games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-17-1 record this season.

Coincidentally, Corpus Christi Moody and King will both be playing Carroll the next time they take the field. The Mustangs will head out to face the Tigers at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, while the Trojans will host them at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
