Slaton and Childress squared off in some playoff action on Saturday, but Slaton had to settle for second. They fell 12-7 to the Bobcats. Unfortunately, that's the fourth time they've come up short against the Bobcats this season, with their most recent loss being a 14-9 defeat on Friday.
Jeremy Floyd was huge no matter where he played even without the win. He pitched 4.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. Floyd was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
Floyd wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Riley Martinez, who went 2-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI. Another was Alberto Luera, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
This is the second loss in a row for Slaton and nudges their season record down to 8-17-1. Those defeats can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Childress, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 14-11-1 record this season.
