They were the clear victors by a 13-7 margin over the Bloomfield Bobcats. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 20-2 on April 1st.

Kamora Henry was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and five unearned) runs off six hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run and five RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March of 2024.

In other batting news, Aztec got a massive performance out of Alexyn Candelaria, who went 3-for-5 with four runs, two stolen bases, and one RBI. Another player making a difference was Cheyenne Yellow, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Aztec was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .500. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .375 or higher in ten consecutive contests.

Aztec's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-10. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. As for Bloomfield, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 6-15.

Coming up, Aztec is taking a road trip to challenge Gallup at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bengals have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.33 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Bloomfield, they will challenge Kirtland Central at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bobcats' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Broncos have averaged an impressive 9 runs per game this season.
