The team also got some help courtesy of Breya Ventura, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double.
They weren't the only one making solid contact: San Pedro kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in five consecutive matches.
