Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask MacArthur). They never let the Nimitz Cougars get on the board and left with a 19-0 victory on Tuesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Generals considering their two-run performance the contest before.
Artemio Mata made a big impact no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts he has posted over his last six matchups. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, two doubles, and one stolen base. MacArthur is 3-1 when Mata posts two or more runs, but 4-7 otherwise.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Adrian Mata, who went a perfect 5-for-5 with four runs, three doubles, and four RBI. Those four runs gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Jorge Moreno, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double.
MacArthur kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 21 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 3.9 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 9.4.
MacArthur has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 7-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for Nimitz, their loss dropped their record down to 5-7.
MacArthur will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Cougars: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
