Yosemite had lost three straight on the road, but on Friday they dropped their record down to 3-11 to make it four. They came up short against the Chowchilla Tribe, falling 20-1. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Tribe this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 21-3 on Tuesday.

As for Chowchilla, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-9 record this season. Considering they have won 11 matchups by more than nine runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

For Chowchilla's part, Lexyss Sabin was a major factor no matter where she played.
