Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask La Joya Community). They put the hurt on the Central Bobcats with a sharp 19-1 win on Thursday. This was payback for the Fighting Lobos, who suffered a 20-10 loss the last time these two teams met.
Isabel Soares made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. Those two hits allowed gave her a new career-low. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, Anaya Romero was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and two doubles. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April of 2024. Hayley Melendrez was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI.
La Joya Community kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in four consecutive contests.
La Joya Community has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-7 record this season.

Central is on a ten-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5.
