Western never got on the board in their matchup on Wednesday, but that sure wasn't the case in their game against Cimarron-Memorial on Thursday. They put the hurt on the Spartans with a sharp 17-3 victory. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by six runs or more this season.
Edwin Moreno made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out 12 batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in March. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances with one home run, four runs, and one stolen base. Western is undefeated when Moreno posts two or more runs, but 6-7 otherwise.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Edgar Garcia, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one home run, four runs, and two stolen bases. He is becoming a predictor of Western's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-7 when he doesn't). Adrian Diaz was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI.
Western kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. They are a perfect 6-0 when they post 11 or more hits.

Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.4 runs over those games. As for Cimarron-Memorial, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-18.
