Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Orland). They were the clear victors by a 16-6 margin over the Live Oak Lions on Tuesday. The Trojans not only won on Tuesday, but they posted their biggest win since April 11th (when they won 13-0).

He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out ten batters over five innings while giving up five earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits.

Alexander was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with four RBI and one double. Those four hits gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Miguel Esquivel was a standout: he got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, one double, and one RBI. Those three runs gave him a new career-high.
