Capitan's batters probably weren't too happy with Braylee Hunt, who pitched a no hitter and racked up eight Ks (she gave up a single walk). Hunt has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 11 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Sierra Rodriguez was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, five stolen bases, and three runs. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April. Olyse Gonzalez was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
Loving always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .703. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, Hozho Academy posted their closest victory since April 4th on Wednesday. They had just enough and edged out Lordsburg 12-11.
The team relied heavily on Iris Albert, who went a perfect 5-for-5 with three RBI, two runs, and two doubles. Another player making a difference was Mika Jai, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Loving's win bumped their record up to 20-6. As for Hozho Academy, they are on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-5 record this season.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Loving has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Hozho Academy struggles in that department as they've been averaging 5.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Loving's way against Hozho Academy in their previous meeting back in April, as Loving made off with a 14-3 victory. Do the Falcons have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Wolves turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
