Anaheim proved they can win big on Friday (they won by nine) and on Saturday they proved they can win the close ones too. They skirted past the Artesia Pioneers 5-3. This was a revenge game for the Colonists: when they faced off against the Pioneers back in February, they had to take a 3-1 loss.
The team relied heavily on Andrew Tabita, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Anaheim's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-16 when he doesn't).
Tabita wasn't the only one making solid contact: Anaheim kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. The Colonists are a perfect 3-0 when they post 11 or more hits.
