Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sandia). They blew past the Manzano Monarchs 21-3 on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Matadors, who have now won nine games by ten runs or more so far this season.
Liliana Villanueva made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run and three runs.
In other batting news, Sandia got a massive performance out of Briana Trujillo, who went 3-for-4 with two triples, three runs, and one RBI. That's the most runs Trujillo has posted since back in March. Natalie Uecker was another key player, scoring two runs while going 3-for-3.
Sandia kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 11 hits in four consecutive matchups.
Sandia pushed their record up to 11-8 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.5 runs over those games. As for Manzano, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last nine contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-15 record this season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Sandia will welcome Eldorado at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Matadors' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Golden Eagles have averaged an impressive 8.9 runs per game this season.
