While Tularosa put up plenty of runs on Saturday, the same can't be said for Hot Springs. The Wildcats were the clear victors by a 16-0 margin over the Tigers. Considering the Wildcats have won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Daniel Yuzos made a big impact no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three stolen bases and two runs. He has become a key player for Tularosa: the team is 10-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 5-6 otherwise.

In other batting news, Deon Bigas was incredible, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. Hunter Sewell was another key player, going 2-for-3 with four stolen bases, two RBI, and one run.

Tularosa always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .568. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hot Springs only posted an OBP of .409.

Tularosa is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 15 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.1 runs over those games. As for Hot Springs, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 6-15-1.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Tularosa beat the Tigers by a score of 12-0 later that day.
