After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Randle, Heights was happy to have turned things around on Monday. They were the clear victor by a 21-1 margin over the Nimitz Cougars. That looming 21-1 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Bulldogs yet this season.
Adam Torres looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He is becoming a predictor of Heights' success: when he allows at most three hits the team is undefeated (and 3-4 when he doesn't).
On the hitting side, Chris-Angel Jimenez and Cherokee Smith did most of the damage at the plate: Jimenez scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances, while Smith went 2-for-4 with one home run, six RBI, and three runs. That's the most hits Smith has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Masio Quintanilla, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 4-for-4.
Heights kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 3.8 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matches they've averaged 8.8.
