New Deal waltzed into their matchup on Tuesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They never let the Ralls Jackrabbits get on the board and left with a 13-0 victory. 13 seems to be a good number for the Lions as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.

The team relied heavily on David Aguirre, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Dallas Sumner, who scored a run while going 1-for-3.

New Deal was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .375. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .324 or higher in four consecutive contests.

New Deal pushed their record up to 12-2 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Ralls, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 14-4.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. New Deal will face off against rival Sudan at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Lions 3.2, the Hornets 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Ralls is set to take on their familiar foe Abernathy at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
