Sabinal had lost ten straight at home dating back to last season, but on Thursday they dropped down to 1-5 to make it 11. They lost 18-0 to the Hondo Owls. If the Yellowjackets were looking for revenge after losing 14-1 to the Owls when the teams met back in March of 2025, then they'll just have to keep looking.

For Hondo's part, Rebecca Rubio made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Rubio has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. Those two RBI gave her a new career-high.
