Bagdad waltzed into their match on Saturday with five straight wins... but they left with six. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Antelope Rams a 14-0 shutout. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 17-0 back in March.
Rowdy Hooper and Aaron Landers made a splash while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Hooper struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Landers tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. That's the most strikeouts Hooper has posted since back in March. At the plate, Hooper went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run, while Landers went 2-for-4 with four stolen bases, four RBI, and two runs. Hooper 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.
In other batting news, Zayden Sanders was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Nick Martinez, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Bagdad's win was their ninth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 21-4. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Antelope, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-10 record this season.
As of now, neither Bagdad nor Antelope have any future games scheduled.
