It wasn't another huge RBI game for Riley Unroe so a couple teammates picked up the slack in that department Friday night to keep Desert Ridge's baseball team on a winning path.

Skyler Cohn, Taylor Flores and Jayden Eggiman combined for seven RBI as the Jaguars scored five times in the fifth and sixth innings to post a 9-4 triumph over Red Mountain at Mesa's HoHoKam Park.

The victory was the ninth in a row and 14th in the last 15 games for Desert Ridge (20-5, 11-1 power-ranking games), which last lost in mid-March.The Jaguars continue to state their case for a spot in the top eight or better of the Division I power rankings. Red Mountain dropped to 12-10, 6-6 prg.

Desert Ridge was opportunistic at times and conjured up its own rallies in Friday's win. Two dropped fly balls by Red Mountain outfielders helped a pair of mulitple-run innings, including a two-run, go-head fifth. Desert Ridge cemented the outcome with three runs and three hits in the sixth. The Jaguars never trailed, but weren't able to shake Red Mountain until the fifth and sixth after building 3-0 and 4-1 leads that lapsed into a 4-4 deadlock after four.

Cohn completed a nice week at the plate (4-for-8 and four RBI) and continued to excel on the mound. The senior was 3-for-3 with three RBI. The final two RBI capped the three-run sixth. Cohn also earned his second pitching win in three days with three innings of two-hit, shutout relief. Cohn did allow two inherited runners from starter Bryan Natter to score in the fourth to tie the game, but he and Unroe combined to slam the door the final three innings. Cohn tossed a complete-game shutout on Wednesday night against. Basha.

"He's vultured a couple," Desert Ridge coach Pat Herrera said of Cohn's latest win, No. 7 on the season with an ERA 1.34 in 41 2/3 innings. "He was begging for the ball (fourth inning). I listen to my seniors."

Flores and Eggiman delivered  a pair of singles and two RBI apiece. Flores second RBI snapped the 4-4 tie in the fifth. Eggiman delivered Unroe with his second hit of the night in the fifth. Unroe was 2-for-4 and scored three times. Unroe did manage one RBI, No. 56 this year, legging out an infield hit in the sixth with another of his many assets -- speed. 

"Knock on wood we're doing well," Herrera said. "Games in the East Valley, it's tough every week."

Red Mountain got two hits each from Brody Ryan and Connor Markell and nine for the game. With the game on the line the final three innings, however, the Mountain Lions mustered just one hit.

"We've still got six games left, but we're going to have go on a run," Red Mountain coach Ross Pagel said. "We can compete with teams, we're not getting it done at times when we need to."
