Arroyo Valley extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 24 on Tuesday, dropping them down to 0-21. They came up short against the Carter Lions, falling 11-1. That's two games in a row now that the Hawks have lost by exactly ten runs.
As for Carter, the win got them back to even at 12-12. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by six runs or more this season.
For Carter's part, Ricardo Martinez looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. Martinez also tossed a walk, which is notable because the Lions are 3-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 9-11 otherwise.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Angel Acevedo, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base. He is becoming a predictor of Carter's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 5-1 (and 7-11 when he doesn't). Miguel Becerra was another key player, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two RBI and one run.
While Arroyo Valley had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:45 p.m. on Thursday.
