WALNUT, Calif. – Nathan Cachu was nearly untouchable on Friday as he picked up his seventh win of the year in game one of Santa Ana's three game SoCal Regional matchup with Mt. San Antonio College.
Cachu dominated the Mounties with an eight inning, one run, three strikeout performance to give the Dons a 1-0 series advantage.

Santa Ana ran away with the win after the quick start, as four players finished with at least three hits. Drake Wood led the way, going 5-5 with four RBI's, four runs and a walk.
