After soaring to 13 runs the game before, Flatirons Academy was a bit more limited in their match on Monday. They took a 5-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the SkyView Academy Hawks. The Bison were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Hawks apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2018.
Mateo Pope was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run.
Pope wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Braxton Kelley, who went 1-for-3 with one RBI.
