PRESS RELEASE – The Dodgers won two games on Sunday to advance to the championship game of the Triton Baseball – UOG Endowment Foundation Invitational tournament, thanks to the pitching of Shon Muna Jr., who threw 13 innings on the day to beat the Amigos 6-2 and the UOG Tritons 6-1.

Muna Jr. started and finished the opening game of the day against the Amigos, throwing a three-hitter with five strikeouts and only walking one. In the 2^nd game, Muna Jr. started again against UOG, only planning to throw a couple of innings to give him nine innings for the day, but he kept throwing through the 6^th inning, giving up one run on three hits and no walks. He was relieved in the 7^th inning by Freddy Cepeda Jr. to finish the last inning.

In the early game, the Dodgers scored two runs in the bottom of first inning and added three more in the 3^rd to take a 5-1 lead. The Dodgers would add one more run in the bottom of the 6^th while the Amigos scored one in the top of the 7^th for the final score of 6-2.

Shane Muna went 3-for-3 for the Dodgers with two runs scored on the day.

The Tritons would have only one hit the rest of the way and the Dodgers would add two more runs in the bottom of the 6^th to win 6-1.
