It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but New Deal had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They put the hurt on the Sunray Bobcats with a sharp 14-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won 14 matchups by eight runs or more so far this season.
Tristan Bigham made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over 5.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off nine hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
In other batting news, Ray Alonzo was a standout: he got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Dallas Sumner, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three runs, two RBI, and one double.
New Deal hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Sunray struck out nine times.
New Deal has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 13 of their last 14 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average over those games. As for Sunray, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 15-6.
As of now, neither New Deal nor the Bobcats have any future games scheduled.
