Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Nogales). They came out on top against the Benson Bobcats on Tuesday by a score of 10-0 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). The high-scoring effort was just what the Apaches needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.
Rodrigo Olivares looked comfortable as he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. What's more, he gave up only zero earned runs, the fewest he's had since back in April of 2024.
On the hitting side, Nogales saw eight different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Xaciel Garcia, who scored a run while going 1-for-2. What's more, Garcia posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in April of 2024. Marco Serrrano was another, scoring two runs while going 1-for-2.
Nogales hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most four strikeouts in three consecutive games.
Nogales has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 3-4-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. Benson is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7.
Looking ahead, Nogales will take on Flagstaff at 11:30 a.m. on Friday. As for Benson, they will square off against Yuma Catholic at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Yuma Catholic will roll in looking for their seventh straight victory, something Benson surely won't give up without a fight.
