Armijo's game on Friday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the West Campus Warriors with a sharp 9-1 win. The Royals might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matchups by eight runs or more this season.
Sean Thornton spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits and racked up 11 Ks. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Chase Lewis, who went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Armijo's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 10-2 (and 5-6-1 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Aiden Espinoza, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
Armijo always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .550. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as West Campus only posted an OBP of .269.
Armijo pushed their record up to 15-8-1 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for West Campus, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 12-9.
Armijo will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Warriors: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday.
