Chaparral had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 15.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Tuesday. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 4-3 W against the Belton Tigers. For the Bobcats, this counts as revenge for the 1-0 win the Tigers walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.
Aiden Hurst spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on five hits and racked up eight Ks. He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
