Rubidoux had lost three straight on the road, but on Wednesday they dropped down to 7-7 to make it four. They came up short against the Patriot Warriors, falling 10-1. The Falcons were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Warriors earlier this season, when they won 5-4.
Rubidoux saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Alex Jimenez, who went 1-for-2 with one run. Carlos Encinas also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
As for Patriot, the win (which was their fifth in a row) raised their record to 7-10. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.4 runs over those games.
On Patriot's side, Robert Betancourt spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on seven hits and racked up six Ks. Betancourt also tossed a walk, which is notable because the Warriors are 5-2 when he allows at most two walks, but 2-8 otherwise.
At the plate, Dylan Angeleri was incredible, going 2-for-3 with four RBI, one triple, and one stolen base. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high.
While Rubidoux had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:15 p.m. on Friday.
