Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Solorio walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Disney II Titans with a sharp 15-1 win on Monday. The Sun Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by six runs or more this season.
Daniel Santiago and Wainner Carpio made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Santiago pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Carpio struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. At the plate, Santiago went a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI, while Carpio went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, one run, and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Josiah Saucedo, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Solorio's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 3-1 (and 6-8 when he doesn't). Keiber Hernandez was another key player, going 1-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one double.
Solorio always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .606. They are 4-1 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Solorio has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-9 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for Disney II, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-7.
Coming up, Solorio will head out to take on Payton College Prep at 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The Sun Warriors' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Grizzlies have averaged an impressive 8.9 runs per game this season. As for Disney II, they are taking a road trip to square off against Mather at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Rangers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.19 runs per game on average), something the Titans will no doubt try to take advantage of.
