Ennis barely beat Terrell the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Lions' pitchers stepped up to hand the Tigers an 11-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Lions have won six games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Keno Castillo made a big impact no matter where he played. He pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Castillo was also big at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while going 3-for-3. He is becoming a predictor of Ennis' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 7-8-2 when he doesn't).
Castillo wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Kevin Rodriguez, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Rodriguez has become a key player for Ennis: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 6-8-2 otherwise. Caleb Beauchamp was another, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.
Ennis is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 12 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-8-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.2 runs over those games. As for Terrell, they are on a 14-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-17.
Ennis will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Tigers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
