After losing to Cleveland the last time they met, Cibola decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Cougars put the hurt on the Storm with a sharp 8-2 win on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Cougars, who have now won seven contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Gabrielle Moncada spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on four hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Cibola got a big performance out of Maci Melvin, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-4. Angelica Medina was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.
Melvin wasn't the only one making solid contact: Cibola kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in four consecutive games.
Cibola's victory was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 14-3. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Cleveland, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-10 record this season.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Cibola will square off against Piedra Vista at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers will roll in looking for their fifth straight victory, something the Cougars surely won't give up without a fight. As for Cleveland, they will face off against Farmington at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
