While Haltom didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-18), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. Everything went their way against the Rio Vista Eagles on Saturday as the Haltom Buffalos made off with a 9-3 win. The result was nothing new for the Buffalos, who have now won six contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Ethan Salinas was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He pitched four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. Salinas was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.

Haltom was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .529. The last time their batting average was this high was in their last 15 matches.

Haltom is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.4 runs over those games. Rio Vista is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-5.

Looking ahead, Haltom will host Arlington at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Haltom's pitching crew has only allowed 3.9 runs per game this season, so Arlington's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Rio Vista, they will head out to take on Blum at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Blum has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 12.5 runs per game on average), something Rio Vista will no doubt try to take advantage of.
