Dolores had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Nucla on Wednesday. The Bears put the hurt on the Mustangs with a sharp 15-5 victory. The result was nothing new for the Bears, who have now won three games by ten runs or more so far this season.
Gus Vaughn made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over six innings pitched. He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Dolores is undefeated when he allows at most two walks, but 1-6 otherwise. Vaughn was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
