Marquez never let their opponents score on Wednesday. They put the hurt on the Elizabeth Bulldogs with a sharp 16-0 victory. The Gladiators might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 contests by eight runs or more this season.
Kamilah Amezcua was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI.
In other batting news, Marquez got a massive performance out of Rosalia Reyes, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two triples, three runs, and one RBI. Those two triples gave Reyes a new career-high. Alicia Aguirre was another key player, going 2-for-3 with four RBI, one triple, and one stolen base.
Marquez was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .652. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .364 or higher in five consecutive matches.
Marquez pushed their record up to 15-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Elizabeth, they are on a 19-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7.
Marquez will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bulldogs: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 2:00 p.m. on Friday.
