Roosevelt extended their losing streak to nine on Thursday, dropping their season record down to 10-15 in the process. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 12-0 to the Norco Cougars, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Cougars this season, with their most recent loss being a 12-0 defeat on Tuesday.
As for Norco, they pushed their record up to 17-8 with the win, which was their eighth straight at home. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.
For Norco's part, they got a great performance from Trent Schlim as he didn't allow a single earned run over six innings pitched. Schlim has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Kevin Leon, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with four RBI, one run, and one double. Another player making a difference was Marcus Blanton, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs.
We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Roosevelt will challenge rival Corona at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Meanwhile, Norco is set to take on their familiar foe Santiago at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Cougars 2.3, the Sharks 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
