Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pace). They put the hurt on the Lopez Lobos with a sharp 21-4 victory on Wednesday. The win was nothing new for the Vikings as they're now sitting on three straight.
Isaac Solis made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over 4.1 innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Pace is 3-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 4-9 otherwise. Solis was also stellar in the batter's box, going 4-for-5 with four runs, four RBI, and one triple. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March of 2025.
