Burbank hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most three strikeouts in three consecutive contests.
Burbank pushed their record up to 5-4 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.2 runs on average over those games. As for Edison, their win bumped their record up to 6-2.
