Bloomington extended their winning streak to four on Friday, bumping them up to 8-1. They had just enough and edged out the Fontana Steelers 3-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Bruins have posted against the Steelers since May 2, 2018.
The team relied heavily on Nathan Martin, who went 1-for-2 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.
As for Fontana, they now have a losing record of 3-4. They haven't had much luck with Bloomington recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.
On Fontana's side, Lio Ocegeura was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out seven batters over 4.2 innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). Ocegeura also tossed a walk, which is notable because the Steelers are 2-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 1-3 otherwise.
At the plate, Fontana saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Cesar Meza, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base.
Looking ahead, Bloomington will head out on the road to take on Jurupa Hills at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Fontana, they will take on Silverado in a tournament on Saturday. The Hawks have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.17 runs per game on average), something the Steelers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
