Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ruidoso). They blew past the Dexter Demons 27-0 on Tuesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Warriors with their most commanding win of the season.
Levi Shelton made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Ruidoso is 2-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 8-12 otherwise. Shelton was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with three runs. Those three runs gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Carson Stratton was a standout: he went 3-for-4 with five stolen bases, five runs, and one RBI. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 1.1 stolen bases per game. Another player making a difference was Josiah Saiz, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with four runs, four RBI, and one stolen base.
Ruidoso always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .692. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in three consecutive contests.
Ruidoso's victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 10-13. As for Dexter, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-13.
Coincidentally, Ruidoso and Dexter will both be playing Bosque the next time they take the field. The Demons will head out to face the Bobcats at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, while the Warriors will play them later in the day, at 4:00 p.m.
