McCurdy had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 18 runs) and they went ahead and made it five on Thursday. They blew past the Mora Rangers/Rangerettes 20-1. That's two games straight that the Bobcats have won by exactly 19 runs.
Carlos Garcia made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with three runs, three doubles, and three RBI. He is becoming a predictor of McCurdy's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-5 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Celestino Salazar-Archuleta was incredible, going 4-for-5 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Ryan Valdez, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one double.
McCurdy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .711. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .711 or higher in four consecutive matches.
McCurdy's victory bumped their record up to 18-5. As for Mora, they moved to 9-10 with that defeat, which also ended their five-game winning streak.
McCurdy will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Rangers/Rangerettes: the pair will be back at it again later today.
