It may have taken nine innings to finish the job, but American Heritage ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Coral Springs Colts, sneaking past 9-8. Winning may never get old, but the Stallions sure are getting used to it with their fourth in a row.
Noah Garfinkel led a balanced Stallions bullpen and struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits (and only one walk). Garfinkel is becoming a predictor of American Heritage's success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is 7-2 (and 6-7 when he doesn't).
At the plate, Ryan Ashley was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 3-for-5. Carlos Jimenez was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 1-for-4.
