Hector Cadena was cooking despite his team's loss, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played. Andrew Arreguin also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
As for Eagle Pass, the victory (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 11-9-2. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games.
On Eagle Pass' side, Jay Jacquez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on four hits and racked up nine Ks. Jacquez has become a key player for the Eagles: the team is 5-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 6-8-2 otherwise.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Alex Mallen, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and two doubles. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Anthony Garcia, who went 3-for-5 with four RBI, one run, and one double.
While United had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
