They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 4-3 W against the Roma Gladiators. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Rattlers have posted since March 14th.

That's the most doubles Garcia has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Zizel Gonzalez, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
Rio Grande City pushed their record up to 19-4 with the win, which was their eighth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.1 runs on average over those games. As for Roma, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-19.
