28, 2014
The Minor A Bats spread their wings Monday, April 28, knocking 15 hits in a 16-8 win over the Hot Rods.

Hot Rods 4, Muckdogs 1: Sunday, April 27, 2014
Quentin Custodio hammered a three-run, walk off home run to lift the Minor A Hot Rods to a 4-1 win Sunday (March 27) over the Muckdogs.
With one out in the decisive sixth inning, AJ Hurtado drew a walk and Gavin Kells followed with a single. Custodio then appeared to hit a bases-clearing double to win the game; however, the umpire called the hit off because the ball was pitched to Custodio before the umpire had established that the ball was live and in play. Whatever disappointment Custodio may have felt didn't overcome him, because just seconds later he hit his game-ending homer on 3-2 pitch to right-center field.
Custodio's dramatic home run upstaged excellent pitching performances by both team's pitchers. The Hot Rods' Hurtado pitched four and a third innings and allowed no hits or run, striking out 11. Custodio surrendered only one run in one and a third innings of relief. The Muckdogs' Chad Lux gave up just one run to the Hot Rods before Custodio knocked his homer off him.
Custodio led the Hot Rods with three hits (a double and a single in addition to his home run). Hurtado, Kells and Myles Lopez each also had one hit for the Hot Rods. Jaxen Phillips scored the lone run for the Muckdogs and Jimmy Legg got their only hit. By S. Harmon.

The Hot Rods scored three in the first when Jack Pirooz singled in Gavin Kells and Quentin Custodio, and Ramon Lopez scored later on a past ball. The Hot Rods shifted into a higher gear and scored five more in the second on runs by Carson Jones, Wyatt Smith, AJ Hurtado, Kells, and Custodio.
Hurtado pitched the first three and one-third innings and made sure the Hot Rod early scoring wasn't squandered. He allowed just one run on no hits, striking out nine.
