El Dorado's game last Thursday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Friday. They came out on top against the Galt Warriors by a score of 10-0 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). The Cougars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matches by eight runs or more this season.

Kevin Thiessen was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Garrison Ewing, who scored two runs while going 3-for-3.

El Dorado always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .556. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

El Dorado moved to 10-9 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. As for Galt, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last nine contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-9 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. El Dorado will venture away from home to square off against Rio Americano at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Raiders' pitching crew has only allowed 2.6 runs per game this season, so the Cougars' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Galt, they will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Union Mine at 4:00 p.m. on the 22nd.
