Julian Gonzalez made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances with two RBI.

Cedar Hill is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-4-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.7 runs over those games. As for DeSoto, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-11.
