Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Union City). They blew past the Hoboken Redwings 15-4 on Monday. Considering the Soaring Eagles have won eight contests by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Adrian Garcia spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four earned runs on three hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Union City got a massive performance out of Steven Roque, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two stolen bases, five RBI, and two runs. Those five RBI gave Roque a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Guillermo Soto, who went 2-for-3 with four runs, one triple, and one stolen base.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Union City kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 4.8 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matches they've averaged 8.8.
Union City's victory was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 11-2. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. As for Hoboken, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 9-3.
