It was a good run, but Sunrise Mountain unfortunately witnessed the end of their four-game winning streak on Wednesday. They took a 5-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Saguaro Sabercats. The Mustangs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Sabercats apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2019.
Dominick Santalucia was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he tossed five innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. What's more, he posted four strikeouts, the most he's had since back in March of 2024.
