Madera South proved they can win big on Monday (they won by seven) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Roosevelt Rough Riders 5-3. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Stallions have posted since March 28th.
Brendon Gustafson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned runs on seven hits and racked up eight Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on David Moles, who went 1-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. Angel Duenas also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
