Baseball Recap: Coral Gables Snags Seventh Victory in Last Nine Games

Coral Gables had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Hialeah on Thursday. The Cavaliers never let the Thoroughbreds get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.

Miguel Castellanos looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
