Del Mar had lost three games on the road, but after bumping their record up to 6-19 on Monday that streak is in the rearview. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Live Oak Acorns 9-8. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Dons have posted since April 17, 2024.
As for Live Oak, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-15 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games.
For Live Oak's part, Jonah Chattha stepped up to lead a balanced group of hitters: he went 2-for-4 with two runs and two doubles. Chattha is becoming a predictor of the Acorns' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 4-1 (and 5-14 when he doesn't). Casey Scannell was another key player, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
