Sparks extended their losing streak to seven on Saturday, dropping them down to 0-7. They lost 19-0 to the Elko Indians. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Indians this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 13-0 on Friday.
As for Elko, the victory (which was their fourth in a row) raised their record to 4-5. The result was nothing new for the Indians, who have now won three contests by 12 runs or more so far this season.
For Elko's part, Travis Monett looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and not a single walk). The Indians are 2-1 when Monett allows three or fewer hits, but 2-4 otherwise.
At the plate, Adam Roumanos was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and one double. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Nicholas Chamberlin, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and two RBI.
While Sparks had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
