Ruidoso's found some homefield redemption this week after a overtime loss to New Mexico Military Institute on Friday. The Warriors put the hurt on the Bosque Bobcats with a sharp 22-2 win. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by seven runs or more this season.
Cash Johnston was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He tossed four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Ruidoso is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 5-11-1 otherwise. Johnston was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one double. Those two runs gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Omar Guerrero, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. He has become a key player for Ruidoso: the team is 5-0-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 3-11 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Trenton Hall, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run.
Ruidoso kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in five consecutive games.
Ruidoso is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-11-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.3 runs over those games. As for Bosque, they dropped their record down to 1-12 with the defeat, which was their fifth straight on the road.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Ruidoso beat the Bobcats by a score of 19-5 later that day.
