Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Buena). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Nogales Apaches a 17-0 shutout on Tuesday. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Colts as it put an end to their five-game losing streak.
Ariella Antemann made a big impact no matter where she played. She tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Amaya Serrano, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March of 2024. Another player making a difference was Morgan Smith, who scored three runs while going 2-for-2.
Buena was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .435. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Nogales only posted a batting average of .214.
Buena's win was their first in the region, bumping their region record up to 1-2 and their overall record up to 2-16. As for Nogales, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season.
