Empire was led to victory by Santino Gigliotti, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Gigliotti turned in nothing short of a gem: he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk).
Gigliotti and Empire will head out on the road to take on Pusch Ridge Christian Academy at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Empire will be headed into this one with a pretty big disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 87 places lower in Arizona), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Gigliotti? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
