Brandon Romero was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and three unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple. He is becoming a predictor of Hoopa Valley's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 6-1 (and 3-6 when he doesn't).
