Dekaney got themselves on the board against Nimitz on Friday, but Nimitz never followed suit. They were the clear victors by a 12-0 margin over the Cougars. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 matches by seven runs or more this season.
Jonathan Perez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched.

Hayes got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four runs and one stolen base, while Green went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Green is becoming a predictor of Dekaney's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 7-1 (and 10-13 when he doesn't).

Dekaney is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-14 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Nimitz, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-17 record this season.
As of now, neither Dekaney nor Nimitz have any future games scheduled.
