Heritage had lost three straight on the road, but on Wednesday they dropped down to 4-8 to make it four. They lost 11-1 to the Arlington Lions. The Patriots were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Lions apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in March of 2020.
Heritage saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Dominic Reyes, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
As for Arlington, with the victory, they broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 6-8. That looming 11-1 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for them yet this season.
On Arlington's side, Caleb McKee tossed a big game, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and only one walk). McKee has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances.
At the plate, JC Rodriguez was incredible, going 2-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. Those two runs gave him a new career-high. Michael Blair also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
While Heritage had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:15 p.m. on Friday.
