San Juan had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.8 runs) and they went ahead and made it seven on Thursday. They blew past the Bayfield Wolverines 13-3. Considering the Broncos have won 13 contests by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Jake Ivins made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off two hits. Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. That triple was his first of the season.
In other batting news, Branten Bethea was a standout: he went a perfect 4-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double. He is on a roll when it comes to hits, as he's now got three or more in each of the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Cooper Palmer, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and three RBI.
San Juan always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .641. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bayfield only posted an OBP of .261.
San Juan pushed their record up to 19-4 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.6 runs over those games. As for Bayfield, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-10.
Looking ahead, San Juan will take on Monticello at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The Buckaroo have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.5 runs per game on average), something the Broncos will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Bayfield, they will face off against Pagosa Springs at 11:00 a.m. on May 3.
