Weslaco East was not the first on the board on Friday, but they got there more often. They blew past the Donna Redskins 11-2. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won nine contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Antonio Solis was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out 12 batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than ten strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with three RBI.

In other batting news, Aiden Gonzalez and Tyler Gonzalez did most of the damage at the plate: Aiden scored three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances, while Tyler scored two runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Those three runs gave Aiden a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Jayden Del Villar, who scored a run while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.

The win made it two in a row for Weslaco East and bumps their season record up to 12-5. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.5 runs over those games. As for Donna, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-9.
