With a playoff win on the line, Harlingen rose to the challenge on Thursday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Edinburg Bobcats, sneaking past 4-2. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 9-7 back in March.
Dominic Gonzales spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up eight Ks. He is becoming a predictor of Harlingen's success: when he allows at most two earned runs the team is 6-1 (and 8-12 when he doesn't).
