La Cueva had already won 12 in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 14.3 runs) and they went ahead and made it 13 on Saturday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Capital Jaguars a 20-0 shutout. The Bears might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 14 matches by ten runs or more this season.
Liliana Montoya made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs and four RBI while going 2-for-2. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on MaceRae Santistevan, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one home run the last three times she's played. Genesis Jaramillo was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
La Cueva always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .852. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Capital only posted an OBP of .100.
La Cueva's win was their ninth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-3. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.4 runs on average over those games. As for Capital, their loss dropped their record down to 11-7-1.
La Cueva will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Jaguars: the pair will be back at it again later today.
