Sadly, Pyramid Lake is still looking for their first win of the season after five contests. They suffered a rough 11-1 defeat at the hands of the Wells Leopards on Friday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Pyramid Lake of the 12-2 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2023.
For Wells' part, Cesar Berumen was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Berumen has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive pitching appearances. Berumen was even better at the plate, going 2-for-2 with a home run, three runs, and three RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Luis Garcia, who went 2-for-4 with a home run, two stolen bases, and two runs. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now stolen at least one in the last five games he's played. Another player making a difference was Sam Peterson, who scored two runs and stole four bases while going 1-for-2.
Pyramid Lake's defeat dropped their record down to 0-5. As for Wells, the victory (which was their seventh in a row) raised their record to 8-2.
While Pyramid Lake had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
