Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Akins). They blew past the Gonzales Apaches 15-1 on Friday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Eagles considering their two-run performance the game before.
Chris Gonzalez looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Daniel Salas was incredible, firing off two home runs, three runs, and three RBI while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in February of 2024. Alonzo Juarez was another key player, scoring three runs while going 2-for-3.
Akins always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .548. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
