Zuni extended their losing streak to three on Thursday, dropping them down to 5-8. They took a 5-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Tohatchi Cougars. If the Thunderbirds were looking for revenge after losing 10-1 to the Cougars when the teams met back in April of 2025, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Tohatchi, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games.
For Tohatchi's part, Amir Woodie spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up 14 Ks. Woodie is becoming a predictor of the Cougars' success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
At the plate, Tohatchi let Thurmond Bitsie and Tatum Bitsie run wild. Thurmond went 1-for-2 with two RBI, one run, and one double, while Tatum went 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base. That's the most RBI Thurmond has posted since back in April of 2025.
