The Gilroy Mustangs are taking a road trip to square off against the Prospect Panthers at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Gilroy is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7 runs per game this season.
On Friday, Gilroy came up short against Live Oak and fell 8-5.
Brennan Neander stepped up to lead a balanced group of hitters: he got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Ayden Orozco, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Prospect, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Thursday. They walked away with a 7-4 win over Oak Grove on Friday. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Panthers as it put an end to their three-game losing streak.
Alex Hand and Bryce Pollace made a splash no matter where they played. Throwing, Hand pitched four innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. Meanwhile, Pollace pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, Hand posted five strikeouts, the most he's had since back in February. At bat, Hand went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double, while Pollace went 3-for-4 with two RBI. Hand is becoming a predictor of Prospect's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-11 when he doesn't).
They weren't the only ones making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Henry Little, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
Gilroy's loss was their fifth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 10-8. As for Prospect, their win was their first in the league, bumping their league record up to 1-7 and their overall record up to 9-11.
