It was a proper cat-fight when Valencia duked it out with Deming on Friday. The Jaguars fell 6-1 to the Wildcats. If the Jaguars were looking for revenge after losing 11-0 to the Wildcats when the teams met back in April of 2025, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Horacio Romero was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched five innings while giving up just one earned (and five unearned) runs off six hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Valencia saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brady Hoefler, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one double.
Valencia has also been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-9 record this season. As for Deming, they pushed their record up to 11-3 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home.
While Valencia had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
