Caliche came into Wednesday's match having lost eight straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 10-9 win over the Peetz Bulldogs on Wednesday. The victory was just what Caliche needed coming off of a 15-3 defeat in their prior matchup.
Orran Adolf made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over four innings while giving up three earned (and three unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). Adolf was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base, and a run. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played.
In other batting news, Ayden Ring was incredible, going 3-for-4 with two runs, a triple, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Joey Vergilio, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-4.
Like Caliche, Peetz also got a great game from a two-way player: Rhyder Bayne. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Bayne was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of his six plate appearances with two doubles, a stolen base, and an RBI.
In other batting news, Logan Vallier made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3. Aiden Hill was another key contributor, scoring a run and stealing four bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Caliche made their fans wait, but they earned their first win of the season to make their record 1-3.
They will have a chance to go back-to-back against Peetz: the pair will be back at it again later today.
