Hueneme waltzed into their match on Tuesday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. Everything went their way against the Grace Lancers as they made off with a 12-4 victory. The Vikings might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by six runs or more this season.
Jorge Medina was a major factor no matter where he played. He tossed three innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances. He is becoming a predictor of Hueneme's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 6-7 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Akira Tamura was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and one stolen base.
Hueneme was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .485. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.
Hueneme's win was their seventh straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-7. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games. As for Grace, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-6-2.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Hueneme will challenge Rio Mesa at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The last four games the Spartans have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. As for Grace, they will square off against Foothill Tech at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
