Meanwhile, Chino fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against Don Lugo on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result.

Their loss signaled the end of their 11-game winning streak.
Grant Kuhns Vasquez spent all 7.2 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on eight hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Chino saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Xiovany Ochoa, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one stolen base.

Montclair's defeat dropped their record down to 6-14. As for Chino, their loss was their first in the league, dropping their league record down to 8-1 and their overall record down to 13-3.
