Kelly entered their tilt with King on Tuesday with three consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with four. They put the hurt on the Jaguars with a sharp 12-3 victory. The Trojans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by nine runs or more this season.
Josiah Velez and Jorge Ortega were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Velez struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. Meanwhile, Ortega pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. At the plate, Velez fired off two home runs, five RBI, and three runs while going 2-for-4, while Ortega got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double. Those five RBI gave Velez a new career-high.
In other batting news, Arturo Martinez was excellent, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with two runs and one RBI. Esteban Ibarra also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Kelly always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .575. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as King only posted an OBP of .393.
