Brett
Smith continued his impossible on base streak, Wes Wallace’ bat came alive with
half a dozen RBI’s and the Pittsburg Diamonds enjoyed the comforts of home in
their first game in Pittsburg by beating Sonoma 18-7.
Tyler
Stirewalt (1-0) started and got the win but it was Skyler Shaw-Fuss who brought
order to a chaotic game and settled down the Diamonds pitching.
The
Diamonds – who performed poorly on offense in the first two games – came alive
at the plate. Wes Wallace went 4 for 5
including a three-run homer and had six RBI’s. Rafael Valera went 4 for 4 with
four RBI’s and Brett Smith moved his batting average to .714 and his On Base
Percentage to .867.
Ethan
Gibbons started and took the loss for the Stompers.
The
two teams will meet again Sunday at Winter Chevrolet Stadium in City Park in
Pittsburg at 1 p.m.
