Hoehne had lost seven straight on the road, but on Friday they dropped their record down to 4-12 to make it eight. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 17-0 to the Fowler Grizzlies, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Grizzlies this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 17-0 on Friday.
As for Fowler, the win was the eighth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 11-2. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games.
For Fowler's part, Weston Johnson made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out ten over four innings pitched. Those ten strikeouts gave Johnson a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
In other batting news, Bryce Froman was excellent, going 1-for-2 with three RBI, one run, and one double. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. Layton Sharon also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Hoehne has already played their next contest, an 11-0 loss against Las Animas on the 21st. As for Fowler, they will play host again on Saturday to welcome Rocky Ford, where first pitch is scheduled at 10:00 a.m. The Meloneers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.31 runs per game on average), something the Grizzlies will no doubt try to take advantage of.
