Manny Arana drove in five runs to lead the offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Oilers got one run in the first inning when leadoff hitter Nathan Ibarra reached on an error, advanced on another error and scored on a ground ball by Cruz. They blew it wide open in the second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nathan Govea led off with a double and after a couple of walks he scored on a ground out by Ibarra. Michael Rios was hit by a pitch, Cruz walked to load the bases and Arana cleared them with a double to left. Govea followed with a single to drive in another run for an 8-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Montebello put the mercy rule into effect with six more in the fourth inning. Cruz had an RBI triple in the inning and Arana drove in another run with a double. Ibarra, Govea and Andrew Salazar also reached base and scored in the inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Oilers hit the 15 mark in the fifth when Arana drove in his fifth run of the game with a single to plate Cruz. Cruz had two extra base hits and scored two runs to go along with his one-hit shutout on the mound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1025\" height=\"728\" src=\"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A0A9730-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95900\" srcset=\"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A0A9730-2.jpg 1025w, http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A0A9730-2-400x284.jpg 400w, http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A0A9730-2-70x50.jpg 70w, http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A0A9730-2-768x545.jpg 768w, http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A0A9730-2-150x107.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1025px) 100vw, 1025px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Manny Arana had three hits and five RBis to lead the Oilers offense.
