Florin was led to victory by Derrick Smith, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Wednesday. Smith turned in nothing short of a gem: he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive pitching appearances.
Smith's strong effort led Florin over Natomas and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Florin is 8-1 against Natomas going back to May of 2021, a lead they'll look to extend.
