Riley Reyna was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs. Those two stolen bases gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, Gael Silva was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four runs, and three RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in May of 2024. Diego Medina was another key player, going 1-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Lyford pushed their record up to 19-8 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.3 runs over those games. As for Raymondville, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-10.

Raymondville has already played their next game, a 12-2 win against Rio Hondo on the 24th. Hopefully Lyford paid attention to the Bearkats' contest: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Bearkats at 5:30 p.m. on the 29th.
