“Tiger pitcher Emiliano Murillo threw a complete game giving him the win,” said Tiger Coach Izzy Gonzalez. “He also added a home run to his stats.”
Isaiah Gonzalez was two for three in the game with a pair of stolen bases, and two runs scored, and an RBI. “He also had a great day defensively, turning in key double plays to end crucial innings.” The heroics continued as Izzy Ramos belted a pair of triples and scored twice for the Tigers.
