Rio Hondo never let their opponents score on Friday. They didn't even let the Progreso Red Ants on the board, marking the Bobcats' second-straight 15-0 shutout. The Bobcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matchups by six runs or more this season.

Christopher Galvan was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Rio Hondo is 4-2 when he allows at most three earned runs, but 9-13 otherwise. Galvan was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Rio Hondo hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Progreso struck out six times.

The victory made it two in a row for Rio Hondo and bumps their season record up to 13-15. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 0 runs in those games. As for Progreso, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-13 record this season.

Rio Hondo will host Raymondville at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bobcats' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bearkats have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season. As for Progreso, they didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, a 15-0 loss against Lyford on the 18th.
