The sixth-ranked Superior baseball team had its modest three-game winning streak snapped after an 11 – 0 loss to No. 9 Miami last Thursday.
Thursday’s game was the first time this season the Panthers’ failed to score a run.
Earlier in the week, the Panthers defeated Duncan 14 – 2 in a performance they’re more accustomed to so far this season.
Jesus Castellanos, Eli Olmos, Nicolaus Cruz, and AJ Denogean each had two RBI in the lopsided win against the Wildkats. Cruz had three hits, including a double, and Olmos had two, as the Panthers pounded out nine hits in the game.
Olmos, a senior, picked up the victory after pitching five innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits with four walks and seven strikeouts. Austin Navarrette, a junior, pitched a scoreless inning in relief, fanning two Wildkats’ hitters in the short appearance.
Upcoming schedule: Apr. 14 at Ft. Thomas and Apr. 19 vs. Alchesay. Both games are scheduled for 4 p.m.
