King had lost six straight on the road, but on Saturday they dropped down to 0-10 to make it seven. They lost 14-3 to the Alonso Ravens. The loss was just more heartbreak for the Lions, who fell 4-2 when the teams last met back in April of 2024.
As for Alonso, they have been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.7 runs over those games.
For Alonso's part, Noah Renew got the start for Alonso and what a start it was: he struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Renew has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Alonso got a massive performance out of Raymond Llanes, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. Llanes is becoming a predictor of the Ravens' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 4-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Yohan Cintron, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with four RBI, one run, and one double.
