Arcola strolled into their game on Saturday with a perfect record and they left with the same. They never let the Altamont Indians get on the board and left with a 1-0 victory. The one-run effort marked the Purple Riders' lowest-scoring game of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Tanner Thomas made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one double. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in April.
Arcola's win was their ninth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 19-0. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Altamont, their loss dropped their record down to 17-7.
Arcola will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Indians: the pair will be back at it again later today.
