Winning always takes teamwork, but on Saturday Ares Velarde stepped things up a notch to give Imperial the 'W'. Velarde turned in nothing short of a gem, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. What's more, he posted four strikeouts, the most he's had since back in March of 2024.
Coming up, Velarde and Imperial are headed away from home for the first time to square off against San Luis at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The last time Velarde duked it out with San Luis (back in February of 2024), Imperial came out on top by a score of 4-1. Will another strong game from Velarde be enough to do it again?
