Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pitman). They were the clear victors by a 15-1 margin over the Modesto Panthers on Monday. That's more bragging rights for the Pride, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Alberto Salazar made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with two runs and one RBI. Those two runs gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Jackson Way was a standout: he went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. He has become a key player for Pitman: the team is 4-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 5-14 otherwise. Elias Mendez also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Pitman always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .625. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The victory made it two in a row for Pitman and bumps their season record up to 9-15. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 4 runs in those games. As for Modesto, they dropped their record down to 3-20-1 with the loss, which was their ninth straight on the road.
Pitman will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Panthers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
