Gunderson entered their tilt with San Jose on Tuesday with three consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with four. They were the clear victors by a 10-2 margin over the Bulldogs. The Grizzlies might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matchups by six runs or more this season.

Christian Lucero spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on one hit and racked up 11 Ks. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Gunderson is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 7-8 otherwise.

At the plate, Gunderson got a massive performance out of Brandon Salgado, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. The Grizzlies are 7-1 when Salgado posts two or more runs, but 3-7 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Dominic Lake, who went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases and three runs.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Gunderson kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as San Jose only managed four hits.

Gunderson pushed their record up to 10-8 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.3 runs over those games. As for San Jose, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-13.

Looking ahead, Gunderson will square off against Yerba Buena at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for San Jose, they will face off against Independence at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Bulldogs are facing the 76ers at the right time seeing as the 76ers are stuck on a 14-game losing streak.
