Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Arlington walked away with it. They blew past the Richardson Eagles 19-3 on Thursday. The Colts' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Abraham Alvarado made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with five RBI and two doubles. Those four hits gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Axel Alvarado was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with three RBI and two runs. Those two hits gave him a new career-high. Lunden Prater was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and two RBI.
Arlington always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .541. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Richardson only posted an OBP of .364.
Arlington is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 15 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-12 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.6 runs over those games. As for Richardson, their loss dropped their record down to 15-13-1.
Arlington will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Eagles: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
