Raymondville's rock-solid pitchers showed up for the team's third consecutive shutout on Friday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Progreso Red Ants a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Bearkats have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Jacob Sosa and Noel Reta made a splash while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Sosa tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Reta didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up a single earned run in six consecutive appearances. At bat, Sosa scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2, while Reta scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2. Raymondville is undefeated when Reta posts two or more runs, but 6-8 otherwise.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Justin Rodriguez, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Larry Perez, who scored two runs while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.

Raymondville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Progreso only managed two hits.

Raymondville is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for Progreso, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-6.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Raymondville will face off against Sinton at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Pirates will roll in looking for their 14th straight victory, something the Bearkats surely won't give up without a fight. As for Progreso, they will square off against Lyford at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Bulldogs will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each match than the last.
