Lodi jumped on Tracy early with a 4-0 lead after 2 innings. Meanwhile at the plate, the Dogs were being worked by Lodi pitcher Andrew Heinrich who was throwing an efficient no hitter through 4 innings only to be broken up by a Josh Verduzco fly to right field. The Flames would add a lot of insurance in the 6th as they plated 5 more runs. Anthony Crivello would push in the only Tracy run late in the game on an infield ground ball that scored Jaxson Rocha.

The Dogs are now 0-6 to start league and turn the page to Lincoln next week.

"It was a great win to build on today" said Coach DeHaro postgame. "I'm proud of the way we competed in a tight, low-scoring game. That’s the kind of baseball that comes down to focus, execution, and toughness and we showed all three."

"Aiden Avitia was phenomenal on the mound today with a complete game. He stayed composed, attacked hitters, and gave us exactly what we needed. It was a big-time performance."

"Offensively, we didn’t have a lot of chances but Aiden coming through with the RBI was clutch in the bottom of the 6th to take the lead."

"Today our defense was clean, mistake-free baseball that committed NO errors, turned a double play, and handled every ball hit our way. That what you need in close games like this. These games can go either way, so it’s important we keep bringing this level of energy and focus every day."

Avitia (W) 7 IP, 0R, 4H, 0ER, 2BB, 6K, 76 pitches
