Solorio came out on top against De La Salle on Wednesday thanks in part to the team's impressive four-run fifth inning. The Sun Warriors took their contest against the Meteors 5-2.
Tony Bautista spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
