Max Garcia was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit. He has become a key player for Pasco: the team is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 1-11 otherwise. Garcia was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.
In other batting news, Pasco let Dakota Gillum and Caleb Szendre run wild. Gillum went 3-for-5 with one stolen base and one run, while Szendre went 4-for-5 with one run. Szendre is becoming a predictor of Pasco's success: when he posts at least three hits the team is 2-1 (and 2-10 when he doesn't). Casey Knudson was another key player, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with two RBI.
Pasco kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 19 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matches they've averaged 9.
