Hayden had lost four straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Saturday they dropped down to 3-4 to make it five. They lost 7-0 to the Williams Vikings. The Lobos were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Vikings apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in March of 2025.
As for Williams, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That somehow still isn't as good as their 7-1-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.2 runs over those games.
For Williams' part, not much got past Jace Maebe, who gave up just four hits and racked up nine Ks to keep Hayden off the board. Maebe has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Williams' victory was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Daniel Rigo, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one double. That double was Rigo's first of the season. Another was Aiden Uebel, who earned one run and two stolen bases.
Looking ahead, Hayden will take on North Valley Christian Academy at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Williams, they will face off against Sahuarita at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
