After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Casa Grande, Justin-Siena was happy to have turned things around on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the American Canyon Wolves with a sharp 11-1 victory. The Braves might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 contests by six runs or more this season.
Griffin Messenger spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up 11 Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in 11 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Justin-Siena let Jake Fletcher and Xiano Ortega run wild. Fletcher got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one double, while Ortega went 2-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and two RBI. That triple marked the first that Ortega has hit this season. Henry Meyers was another key player, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with two RBI and one run.
Justin-Siena always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .525. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive matches.
Justin-Siena is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games. As for American Canyon, they dropped their record down to 10-13 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight at home.
