William Dunne was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits (and not a single walk). Those six strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

In other batting news, Lukas Hall was a standout: he got on base in four of his five plate appearances with four RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. Boston Ivie also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

Homedale always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .622. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Parma only posted an OBP of .346.

Homedale pushed their record up to 16-4 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.8 runs over those games. As for Parma, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Homedale will welcome Fruitland at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. The Grizzlies will roll in looking for their 20th straight victory, something the Trojans surely won't give up without a fight. As for Parma, they will look to defend their home field on Monday against New Plymouth at 5:30 p.m. The Panthers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Pilgrims have averaged an impressive 10.1 runs per game this season.
