Reavis barely beat Shepard the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Rams' pitcher stepped up to hand the Astros a 12-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Rams have won 12 matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Reavis got a great performance from Jose Rodriguez as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Rodriguez has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Parker Zasada, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. That triple was his first of the season. Anthony Perez was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
Reavis pushed their record up to 17-9 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Shepard, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-10-2.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Reavis will host Westmont at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. As for Shepard, they will take on Thornton Fractional North at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Astros are facing the Meteors at the right time seeing as the Meteors are stuck on a six-game losing streak.
