If Raton was feeling good off their 15-5 takedown of Tucumcari last Wednesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Raton Tigers fell 15-11 to the Pecos Panthers on Tuesday. Raton was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Pecos apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2018.
Carson Chatterly and Isaac Garcia stepped up to the plate in a big way. Chatterly scored two runs while going 3-for-4, while Garcia got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and a triple. The team also got some help courtesy of Brayden Tapia, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 2-for-2.
Even though they lost, Raton was hitting in the alleys and finished the game with three doubles. That's the most doubles they've managed all season.
On Pecos' side, the team relied heavily on Jonah Villanueva, who scored four runs while going 3-for-5. Another player making a difference was Elijah Gonzales, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-5.
Raton's defeat dropped their record down to 1-4.
While they had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
