The Yuma Indians are taking a road trip to face off against the Bennett Tigers at 3:00 p.m. on Monday. Yuma is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.8 runs per game this season.
Yuma came out on top against Wiggins on Thursday thanks in part to the team's impressive four-run third inning. The Indians walked away with a 6-2 win over the Tigers. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Indians.
Alex Pensado was excellent, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Lennox Huwa, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bennett). They were the clear victors by a 24-4 margin over Middle Park on Thursday. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by six runs or more this season.
Cougar Cronk was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out six batters over four innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Bennett's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 4-7 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Victor Herrera, who went 3-for-5 with five RBI, two runs, and one double. Those five RBI gave him a new career-high. Trenton Neade also deserves some recognition as he launched his first home run of the season.
Bennett always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .659. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Yuma's record is now 8-4. As for Bennett, their record now sits at 6-8.
