Luis Castillo shut down los Cucuys in the top of the eighth to keep the score tied heading into the bottom of the eighth. With two outs and a runner on first, Duzenack belted his second homerun of the day to take the lead 5-3. That is Duzenack's seventh homerun of the season.
West Tunnell came in to finish the game and he earned his fourth save after working with runners on the corners. Los Toros completed the sweep and extended the win streak to four games. With a 22-9 record, los Toros have the best record in the California League and have a seven-game lead on the Modesto Nuts.
