Sierra Grande dropped their record down to 5-5 on Tuesday, which also ended the team's ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season. They came up short against the Sargent Farmers, falling 13-3. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Farmers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 7-3 last Tuesday.
Sierra Grande saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Luis Roybal, who went 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
As for Sargent, they now have a winning record of 6-5. The result was nothing new for the Farmers, who have now won five games by nine runs or more so far this season.
On Sargent's side, Kade Temple and Tytus Atencio made a big impact no matter where they played. On the mound, Temple struck out eight batters over 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and only one walk). Meanwhile, Atencio struck out six batters over 3.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Sargent is 4-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 2-4 otherwise. At the plate, Temple got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI, while Atencio got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Atencio is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Parker Mitchell, who went 3-for-5 with two runs and one stolen base. Kenyon Knorr was another key player, going 1-for-3 with three runs.
Coincidentally, Sierra Grande and Sargent will both be playing Nucla the next time they take the field. The Panthers will host the Mustangs at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, while the Farmers will play them later in the day, at 11:00 p.m.
