Cheyenne Wells had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell just short of the McClave Cardinals by a score of 10-8 on Tuesday. Cheyenne Wells was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as McClave apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2023.
Bryson Hyle was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. He tossed three innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off three hits. Hyle was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances.
In other batting news, Brennan Framel and Zach Dickey stepped up to the plate in a big way. Framel scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances, while Dickey went 2-for-3 with three RBI, a triple, and a stolen base. Jesse Harlow was another key contributor, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3.
Like Cheyenne Wells, McClave also got a great game from a two-way player: Kielan Mallard. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (he also only allowed one walk). Mallard was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.
Mallard wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Austin Licano, who scored a run while going 1-for-2. Another player making a difference was Elijah Solis, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances.
While Cheyenne Wells had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
