Roosevelt entered their tilt with Wellington on Monday with four consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with five. They beat the Eagles by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 15-4. Considering the Roughriders have won six contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Israel Castillo made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out six batters over five innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. He was even better at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with five RBI, one triple, and one run.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Luke Unruh, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Devin Mitchell, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.

Roosevelt was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .435. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .357 or higher in six consecutive matches.

Roosevelt's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-1. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Wellington, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-9.

Roosevelt will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Eagles: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
