Dillon Cubs Dominate A’s In 14-4 Win

DILLON, MT – The Dillon Cubs cruised to a 14-4 victory over the A’s on Tuesday, showcasing strong offensive production and solid pitching.

The Cubs opened the scoring in the bottom of the first inning with Jase Alvarez singling to center field, and Trenton Moreni tagging up to score the first run. They continued to extend their lead in the second inning, aided by a fielder’s choice from Moreni and an Alvarez single.

In the third, Dillon added another run on a groundout by Ben Peacock and a single by Cohen Hartman. The offensive explosion came in the fifth inning, where the Cubs scored five runs on five hits. The inning included a hit-by-pitch from Alvarez and singles from Cooper Clarke, Kaydan Elmer, Landon Lovaas, and Aiden Ferguson, each bringing in a run.

Ben Peacock earned the win, allowing no hits and just two runs (one earned) over two and one-third innings, striking out four and walking two. In relief, Landon Lovaas pitched three innings, surrendering three hits and one unearned run while striking out two. Royal Mace took the loss for the A’s, pitching three innings and giving up seven runs on five hits, with three strikeouts and four walks.

The Cubs finished with 12 hits, with Jase Alvarez leading with three RBIs and going 2-for-2 at the plate. Alvarez, Cohen Hartman, and Gage Curnow each contributed two hits. Aggressive base running was key, with Alvarez and Hartman stealing multiple bases, and the team overall swiped eight bases.

On the opposing side, Owen Krum, Travis Dye, Royal Mace, Jesse Jones, Gus Johnson, and Taco Blodnick each recorded one hit. Krum and Dye each drove in one run, and Blodnick and others added steals to keep the pressure on.

The Cubs will next host the Powell Pioneers on Friday, aiming to continue their winning streak.
