Katarina Baca made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she tossed 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Deming got a massive performance out of Cristal Enriquez, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four stolen bases, and three runs. Those four stolen bases gave Enriquez a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Jaylin Holguin, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three stolen bases, and three runs.

Deming lost a few balls and finished the game with five home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

Deming has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-12 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for Chaparral, their defeat was their sixth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 4-16.

Coming up, Deming will host Silver at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Wildcats will need to watch out since the Fighting Colts have now posted at least ten runs in their last four games. As for Chaparral, they will head out on the road to take on Santa Teresa at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Desert Warriors have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.67 runs per game on average), something the Lobos will no doubt try to take advantage of.
