With a playoff win on the line, Ropes rose to the challenge on Saturday. They were the clear victors by a 13-3 margin over the West Texas Comanches. Considering the Eagles have won 20 games by more than seven runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Elijah Flores and Kade Franklin made a splash no matter where they played. On the mound, Flores tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Franklin tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Flores has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in 11 consecutive appearances. At the plate, Flores went 2-for-3 with two RBI, while Franklin went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI.

In other batting news, Ryland Keith was incredible, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last six games he's played. Brayden Hogg was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Ropes always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .586. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as West Texas only posted an OBP of .333.

The victory (which was Ropes' sixth in a row) raised their record to 26-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for West Texas, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 11-12.

Looking ahead, Ropes will square off against Albany on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Eagles 3.2, the Lions 3.5) so any runs scored will be well earned. West Texas does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
