Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Alex Rico stepped things up a notch to give Southwest the 'W'. South San Antonio had no answer to Rico as he didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. Rico has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
Coming up, Rico and Southwest will venture away from home to take on MacArthur at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. The last time Rico took on the Brahmas, he struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off seven hits (and not a single walk). Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
