The Alhambra Lions got the win against the McClintock Chargers on Friday by a conclusive 13-4. Considering the Lions have won six games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Ricardo Fonseca made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out nine batters over 5.1 innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off only two hits. Fonseca was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. That triple was his first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jose Emilio Mendez, who scored two runs while going 1-for-2. Another player making a difference was Christopher Martinez, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3.

Alhambra always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .515. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as McClintock only posted an OBP of .276.

Alhambra is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. McClintock's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 8-7.
