After losing to Ajo the last time they met, Heritage Academy decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Heroes walked away with a 7-4 win over the Red Raiders on Thursday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Heroes.
Maverik Ray spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on four hits and racked up eight Ks. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Heritage Academy is 2-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 3-4 otherwise.
