In other batting news, Daniel Pfaff was excellent, scoring a run and stealing four bases while going 1-for-2. Alfonso Navarro was another key contributor, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.
Meanwhile, sadly, Phoenix Military is still looking for their first win of the season after four matchups. They fell victim to a tough 21-11 loss at the hands of Noble Street College Prep on Thursday. Both teams can probably skip cardio this week after making that many trips around the bases.
