Carlsbad kicked off their season on the road on Friday and hit a couple of potholes. They fell just short of the Silver Fighting Colts by a score of 7-6. The Cavemen/Cavegirls were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Fighting Colts apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2022.
Kalion Fuentes spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits and racked up 13 Ks.
At the plate, Faith Rivera was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Parris Weldon, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
Silver's victory bumped their record up to 5-1.
Coincidentally, Carlsbad and Silver will both be playing Belen the next time they take the field. Carlsbad will head out to face Belen at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, while Silver will play them later in the day, at 6:00 p.m.
