The Arvada Bulldogs's road trip will continue as they head out to face the Centaurus Warriors at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Arvada is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 11.7 runs per game this season.
Arvada will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up two runs on Tuesday, then bounced right back against Bennett on Thursday. Arvada put the hurt on Bennett with a sharp 21-1 win. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won six contests by ten runs or more so far this season.
Alyssa Moreno was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). Moreno was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple.
In other batting news, Amiah Picaso was incredible, going 2-for-3 with five RBI, two runs, and a triple. She is also on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now stolen at least one in the last four games she's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Alicia Montoya, who scored four runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Arvada always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .806. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bennett only posted an OBP of .182.
