Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eldorado). They were the clear victor by a 15-5 margin over the St. Pius X Sartans on Wednesday. The victory was familiar territory for the Golden Eagles, who have now won three matches in a row.
Kavan Salas was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He tossed three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in March of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.
