Capital waltzed into their matchup on Thursday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They walked away with a 12-8 win over the Los Alamos Hilltoppers. This was payback for the Jaguars, who suffered a 6-5 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Ava Martinez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and six unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent : she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Brooke Salazar was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI. That home run marked the first that she launched this season. Another player making a difference was Ally Montoya, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
