The team relied heavily on Orlando Rico, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March of 2024. Gene Martinez also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
Meanwhile, Lopez put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitchers stepped up to hand Economedes an 8-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Lobos, who have now won four games by seven runs or more so far this season.
Lopez's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-0. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs over those games. As for Hanna, the victory got them back to even at 3-3.
