At the plate, Jordan Montemayor was a standout: he went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Zayvier Olazcon, who went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double.

Othello pushed their record up to 16-4 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games.
