Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Silver). They never let the Chaparral Lobos get on the board and left with a 23-0 win on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Fighting Colts, who have now won 16 matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
Ariel Alvarado was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Vanessa Lucero, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two triples, five RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Brailyn Lopez, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, one double, and one RBI.
Silver was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .656. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Silver is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 15 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.5 runs over those games. As for Chaparral, they dropped their record down to 4-19 with the loss, which was their seventh straight at home.
