McCurdy is on a four-game streak of home losses, and Dexter a three-game streak of away losses. However, someone's due for a change in luck on Saturday. The McCurdy Bobcats will take on the Dexter Demons in a tournament on Saturday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
It was a proper cat-fight when McCurdy duked it out with Capitan on Friday. The Bobcats came out on top in a nail-biter against the Tigers, sneaking past 11-9. With that win, the Bobcats brought their scoring average up to 6.7 runs per game.

Cruz Martinez made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because McCurdy is undefeated when he allows at most three earned runs, but 0-4 otherwise. Martinez was even better at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-2. What's more, he posted three RBI, the most he's had since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, Celestino Salazar-Archuleta was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one double. He is becoming a predictor of McCurdy's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 3-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was D'Metrius Martinez, who scored a run and stole three bases.
McCurdy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .593. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dexter). They never let Mora get on the board and left with a 21-0 victory on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Dexter's victory bumped their record up to 4-7. As for McCurdy, their win bumped their record up to 3-4.
