Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Santiago). Everything went their way against the Magnolia Sentinels on Friday as they made off with a 13-1 win. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Cavaliers considering their two-run performance the matchup before.
Josefa Rodriguez was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching seven innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. Rodriguez was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, Santiago let Alex Santillano and Isaiah Cortez run wild. Santillano went 2-for-5 with four RBI and two runs, while Cortez scored two runs while going 3-for-5. Those runs were Santillano's first of the season. Daniel Thomas Romero was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 3-for-5.
Santiago always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .561. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The victory made it two in a row for Santiago and bumps their season record up to 3-10. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 1 runs in those games. As for Magnolia, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-7.
