With a playoff win on the line, Weslaco rose to the challenge on Thursday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the San Benito Greyhounds, sneaking past 4-2. Four seems to be a good number for the Panthers as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
John Reyna spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on five hits and racked up 14 Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Joseph Banda, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March. Ethan Silva was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one triple and one RBI.
Weslaco hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as San Benito struck out 14 times.
Weslaco is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-9-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for San Benito, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-15.
