Dinuba waltzed into their matchup on Tuesday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. They walked away with a 6-3 victory over the Golden West Trailblazers. That's more bragging rights for the Emperors, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Neveah Garcia spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on three hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Kiley Gomez, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That home run was her first of the season.
