Weed was led to victory by DJ Horton, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Burney had no answer to Horton as he struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off three hits. Horton has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Horton's strong effort led Weed over Burney and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Weed is 9-0 against Burney going back to March of 2018, a lead they'll look to extend.
