The team relied heavily on JAMES LINZMEYER, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and one triple. He is becoming a predictor of Cienega's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 3-4 when he doesn't). CARLOS DAVILA also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
The victory got Cienega back to even at 5-5. As for Catalina Foothills, their record now sits at 9-2.
