Eli Fultz's day is done after five innings of two-run ball. All four pitches were looking good today and he came through with a much-needed good outing for the Campesinos.

[Lukas The Stat Guy @Stats_Lukas]

Hayden Williamson with a great throw down to second base to get an important second out for the Mavericks. Throw clocked in at 86 MPH from Williamson.

[Lukas The Stat Guy @Stats_Lukas]

Andrew Jurado ties it up!!! Turns around a Carsie Walker change-up for a two-run shot to left-field. 94 off the bat ties this game up at 2-2. First homer of the year for the Campesinos' catcher comes in a big moment.

[Lukas The Stat Guy @Stats_Lukas]

Landon Fish with a 94 MPH double to right field. Camps finally get some hard contact off of Walker here in the fifth.

[Lukas The Stat Guy @Stats_Lukas]

Mavericks finally get to Fultz in the third inning. A broken bat RBI single by Dane Simon scores Bessard and a liner over the third baseman's head by Mitch Austin scores Simon. 2-0 Mavericks.

[Lukas The Stat Guy @Stats_Lukas]

Mitch Austin 96 off the bat for a hard-hit single in the second inning.

[Lukas The Stat Guy @Stats_Lukas]

Carsie Walker looking good through two scoreless innings so far. Fastball has been 88-91 so far touching 92 MPH. Slider and changeup both located well in the first two frames.

[Lukas The Stat Guy @Stats_Lukas]

Josh Rego puts the Campesinos up early in this round one playoff game with a 104 MPH triple to plate two runs.

2-0 Camps in the third inning.

[Lukas The Stat Guy @Stats_Lukas]

Checking out more numbers from Sammy's impressive start:
- 50% whiff rate (46.3% on FB, 80% on CB)
- 66 strike % on his fastball
- 90.5 peak fastball velocity and 88.1 average velo, so he was very consistent all game
- Struck out 14 hitters while throwing 88.3% fastball

[Lukas The Stat Guy @Stats_Lukas]

Sammy Mercedes' day is done after 7 innings. Finished with 14 strikeouts allowing one run.

Fastball was consistently 87-89 topping out at 90 MPH.

Incredibly impressive first start for Mercedes, the Volcanoes' bats had no answers for him.
