Dekaney gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Humble Wildcats with a sharp 11-3 victory.
Michael Hayes and Jonathan Perez were a major factor while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Hayes tossed two innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. Meanwhile, Perez pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. What's more, he also gave up only one walk, the fewest he's had since back in April of 2024. At the plate, Hayes scored a run and stole two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances, while Perez scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Those two stolen bases gave Perez a new career-high.
