Pecos had lost six straight on the road, but on Saturday they dropped down to 8-15 to make it seven. They lost 12-2 to the Raton Tigers. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Tigers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 13-2 back in April.
Pecos saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Justin Sandoval, who went 1-for-2 with one RBI.
As for Raton, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 11-12. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won ten contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
On Raton's side, Azden Romero was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Romero also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Raton is 3-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 8-11 otherwise. Romero was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
In other batting news, Warren Berry was incredible, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. He is becoming a predictor of Raton's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 6-3 (and 5-9 when he doesn't). Brayden Tapia was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases and two runs.
As of now, neither Pecos nor Raton have any future games scheduled.
