Chuluota Beats Picture Rocks, 8-1
The performance of Zach Hess proved critical in helping Chuluota beat Picture Rocks, 8-1. The Imperials left fielder went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Chuluota pitcher Pedro Mendez got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Shunso Tabata got the loss. Suk Moon earned the save for Chuluota, his 3rd.

Jim Unknown hit a 2-run home run off Shunso Tabata in the bottom of the second, which put the Imperials ahead, 3-1. In addition to the homer, Unknown had 1 double, while going 2 for 4.

"I give credit to my teammates for this win. We got it done," Hess told the Chuluota Daily.

The Imperials have hit the ground running, raising their record to 15-5. While it's still too soon to talk about Chuluota hoisting their 2nd World Series trophy, fans are getting excited about their strong start.
