Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Trabuco Hills walked away with it. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Bonita Bearcats on Friday, sneaking past 4-3. The win was familiar territory for the Mustangs, who have now won six matchups in a row.
Mike DeFrancesca spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on three hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Ryan Luce was excellent, going 2-for-3 with two doubles, one run, and one RBI. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Evan Hall, who went 2-for-3 with two runs.
Trabuco Hills was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .385. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive contests.
Trabuco Hills pushed their record up to 21-7-1 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Bonita, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 16-12 record this season.
Trabuco Hills will challenge Fountain Valley at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Mustangs 2.1, the Barons 3.7) so any runs scored will be well earned. Bonita does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
