Natalia can bid farewell to their seven-game losing streak thanks to their game on Monday. They walked away with a 6-3 win over the Dilley Wolves. Surprisingly, this marked the fifth straight game that the away team has come away the victor.

One of them was Leo Buentello, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most runs Buentello has posted since back in April of 2024. Jordan Castro also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
