Edmonton Capitals News Release
Chico, CA - The Edmonton Capitals continued to pound the baseball on Wednesday night against the Chico Outlaws, as they put double-digits in the runs column for the third straight game to earn their third straight victory. The Caps won 11-2 on Monday and 10-5 on Tuesday before Wednesday's 12-1 decision.
Third baseman Carlos Duncan continued his onslaught on Outlaws pitching as he crushed a home run for the second consecutive game and finished Wednesday's contest with two hits, two runs scored and four RBI. Left fielder Todd Linden also smacked a longball, scored two runs and had two RBI.
The Caps got a gem of a pitching performance from starter Daryl Arreola. His older brother Andrew picked up the victory in Tuesday's game, and Daryl won in convincing fashion on Wednesday, surrendering just one run and five hits through seven innings while striking out five Outlaws. David Davidson and Jorge Vasquez struck out a pair of batters each during back-to-back scoreless innings to finish the game.
Centre fielder Jamie McGraw continued to impress with his new team, as he went 2-for-4 at the plate, scored three runs and picked up one RBI. He has a .333 batting average with seven runs scored through four games since joining the Caps upon their arrival in California. In addition to throwing his second straight victory, Arreola had a productive night at the plate with a double, two singles, a run scored and one RBI.
