Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lost River). They blew past the Glendale Pirates 18-1 on Friday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Raiders with their most commanding win of the season.
Kyle Diaz made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Lost River is 7-1 when he allows at most two earned runs, but 1-2 otherwise. Diaz was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. Those three hits gave him a new career-high.
