• Jordan Remer threw a shutout inning.
• Sean Lucas threw a perfect inning with 2 strikeouts.
• Mo Wiley threw a perfect inning with a strikeout.

Game notes

Robert Stephenson only gave up 3 hits in 5 innings and one of his runs was on a ‘non-error’ that should have been an error where the outfielder dives in on a ball but misses and it goes right on by him. He now has 2 walks and 19 strikeouts in 14 innings pitched. The 19 strikeouts lead the league. Mo Wiley racked up his 4th save and kept his ERA perfect at 0.00. Carlos Sanchez is off to a fantastic start. The 21 year old from Venezuela is hitting .415/.467/.805 with 9 extra base hits, 4 walks and 4 strikeouts through 10 games. The Mustangs are off to a 9-3 start to begin the year.

Avain Rachal, drafted as a pitcher this year but has only been a position player, is hitting .417/.481/.542 with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts in 7 games.
