Imperial's game on Saturday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over the Central Spartans. That's more bragging rights for the Tigers, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Bruno Hernandez looked comfortable as he tossed 3.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Imperial's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Jacob Gastelum, who went 1-for-4 with two RBI and one double.
Imperial is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games. Central's loss was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 4-4.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Imperial will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Calexico at 7:00 p.m. on March 18th.
