Mohave Accelerated had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Kingman Academy on Wednesday. The Patriots put the hurt on the Tigers with a sharp 14-4 victory. This was a revenge game for the Patriots: when they faced off against the Tigers back in February, they had to take a 13-1 loss.
Jacek Smogoleski was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed three innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.
In other batting news, Jerry Torres was a standout: he scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. Vince Garcia was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.
