If Shadow Ridge was feeling good fresh off their 13-3 takedown of Durango on Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Mustangs fell 6-1 to the Las Vegas Wildcats on Monday. The matchup marked the Mustangs' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
Shadow Ridge had to settle for second despite strong performances on the mound from Gage Wiedmeyer and Payton Bryan Wiedmeyer pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits, while Bryan tossed four innings while giving up just one earned (and five unearned) runs off six hits. That's the first time Wiedmeyer hasn't allowed a single earned run since back in March.
At the plate, Evan Noble was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-4 with one home run.
Shadow Ridge has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-14 record this season. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games. As for Las Vegas, their record now sits at 8-12-1.
While Shadow Ridge 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 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
