The Sabetha Bravos played three games in the past week, and the team broke out of its offensive slump, averaging just under 10 runs a game, but saw their defense and pitching struggle on the way to losing two out of the three games.

Sabetha put up an 8-run 3rd inning in Friday’s contest against the Topeka Farmers, which allowed the team to cruise to a 12-2 win. Jose Fernandez led the team with a 3-4 night, knocking in 2 RBIs, a double and a run scored. Batting just behind Fernandez, Jeison Campos finished 1-2 with 2 RBIs, a runs scored and a double, while leadoff man Ryonsuke Nosaka finished 2-4 with a walk, a triple, an RBI and a run scored. Christian Veloz continued his strong start to the season, pitching 5 innings and striking out 8, allowing just 4 hits and a run, while Fernando Falero pitched the final two innings, striking out 2.

The following night, it was the Farmers who reached 12 runs and picked up the win, as Sabetha surrendered 5 runs in the 7th to put the game out of reach, as Topeka earned the 12-6 win. Fernandez went 1-3 and earned an RBI and a run scored with a home run, while Lei Rivero finished 2-5 with a run scored, a double and an RBI, while Rommel Perez was 1-4 with a double, a run scored and 2 RBIs. Osvaldo Beltre started the game for Sabetha, going 4.2 innings and striking out 5, while giving up 6 runs on 7 hits. Sergio Clemente, Mario Franco and Barndon Foronado all pitched in relief in the game.

Monday night’s contest between the Bravos and the Junction City Brigade was a slugfest, as the teams combined for 30 runs and 25 hits, but it was Junction City’s 9-run 1st inning that had Sabetha scrambling to catch up all night. Sebastian Guerra had 2 RBIs on the night, with Lei Rivero going 2-4 with a pair of RBIs, and Enrique Marrero also notching 2 BIS on a 4-2 performance. Rafael Trinidad, Bryan Luna, Sergio Clemente and Mario Franco split time on the mound for the Braves, striking out 7 but struggling to put Brigade batters away.

The Bravos, now at 4-9 on the season, will stay busy with the Lawrence Travelers this week, playing at Big Springs on Thursday and Saturday, and hosting in Sabetha on Friday night.
