Youngker's victory was truly a team effort as seven different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Jeremiah Garcia, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3. Garcia is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played.
Meanwhile, Buckeye came up short against Verrado on Monday and fell 5-1. The Hawks have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Zaiden Davis spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered five earned runs on eight hits.
Youngker's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-5. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for Buckeye, their loss dropped their record down to 4-10.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Youngker has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Buckeye struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Youngker took their win against Buckeye in their previous matchup on Tuesday by a conclusive 11-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Roughriders since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
