Quartz Hill dropped their record down to 14-12 on Saturday, which also ended the team's ten-game streak of wins at home. They came up short against the Sultana Sultans, falling 9-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Royals have suffered since February 19th.

Quartz Hill got a good showing from Chris Quintero, who tossed three innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits. Quintero has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances.

As for Sultana, they are on a roll lately: they've won 17 of their last 18 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-3-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.9 runs on average over those games.

On Sultana's side, they got a great performance from Parker Nunes as he tossed six innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits. The dominant performance also gave Nunes a new career-high in strikeouts (four).

On the hitting side, Isac Gamez was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March. LJ Borrego was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run and two runs.

Coming up, Quartz Hill will take on Maranatha at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Minutemen's pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Royals' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Sultana does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
