San Carlos extended their losing streak to three on Friday, dropping their season record down to 3-9 in the process. They lost 22-4 to the Duncan Wildkats. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Wildkats this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 1-0 back in March.
As for Duncan, the win (which was their fourth in a row) raised their record to 10-5. Considering they have won eight contests by more than seven runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
For Duncan's part, Reymia Contreras was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out seven batters over 3.2 innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). Contreras has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Paisley Patton was incredible, firing off two home runs, seven RBI, and four runs while going 4-for-5. She is also on a roll when it comes to triples, as she's now hit at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Shaylynn Rhoton was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three stolen bases, and three runs.
Looking ahead, San Carlos will head out on the road to square off against St. Michael at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. As for Duncan, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Pima at 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday. The Roughriders have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.87 runs per game on average), something the Wildkats will no doubt try to take advantage of.
