Maybe. Though, Monty said that Ruby sucks without her scythe. I've seen someone point out that Ruby punched a spot that's really ineffective to punch in real life (she should've gone for his diaphragm, not his abs). There's nowhere she could've run, since she was one step away from falling off a roof (after having fallen several stories from the ceiling of the cave), and they were right in front of her, so trying to run or speed past with her Semblance would've just led to her being thrown way off balance the moment she'd bump past one of them.

So, basically, it was a mixture of those White Fang mooks having an opportune moment and Ruby having very little training in direct hand-to-hand combat. That, and her Aura took a pretty significant blow from the fall she took.
