Las Cruces was led to victory by Lucas Hernandez, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Tuesday. Hernandez was dynamite, not allowing a single earned run while striking out ten over six innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in eight consecutive pitching appearances.
Hernandez's strong effort led Las Cruces over Alamogordo and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Hernandez has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 1 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Alamogordo has only allowed 3.84 per game this season.
