Yerington took the measure of Pershing County in their last meeting, and Monday night proved no different. With a firm hand and a steady bat, Yerington secured a 9-4 victory, showing once more that they’re a team to take seriously.
Valor Angle was the man of the hour, making his mark both on the mound and at the plate. He worked two innings without yielding a single hit, walk, or earned run—his first since April 2024. Not content with baffling batters, he crossed home plate twice and swiped a bag while going 1-for-4.
Turning in a solid effort, Toby Juarez pitched three innings and allowed only two earned runs on three hits. Juarez has kept his walk count to two or fewer in three straight appearances.
At the plate, Colby Rowe made his presence known, going 2-for-4, scoring a run, and nabbing two stolen bases. He’s making a habit of swiping bags, now having stolen at least one in his last three games. Erick Juarez reached base in three of his four appearances and touched home once.
Yerington has been on a tear, winning five of their last six contests, bolstering their season record to 9-2. Their bats have been on fire, averaging 10.2 runs per game in that stretch. Pershing County, on the other hand, finds themselves in dire straits, their road woes stretching to eight straight losses, dragging their record down to 5-8.
