Copper Canyon never let their opponents score on Wednesday. Everything went their way against the Washington Rams as they made off with a 10-0 win. Considering the Aztecs have won seven matchups by more than seven runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Gabriel Ruelas made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Ruelas was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 3-for-4.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jesus Vega, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. Anthony Acosta Livas was another key player, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.

Copper Canyon was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .385. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .385 or higher in four consecutive games.

Copper Canyon is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-4-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for Washington, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-7.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Copper Canyon will host Fairfax at 3:45 p.m. on Friday. The Aztecs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Stampede have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season. As for Washington, they will be playing in front of their home fans against South Mountain at 3:45 p.m. on Friday. The Jaguars have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.67 runs per game on average), something the Rams will no doubt try to take advantage of.
