Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Etiwanda). They blew past the Aquinas Falcons 17-2 on Tuesday. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matches by eight runs or more this season.

Etiwanda got a massive performance out of Ava Reyes, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run and four RBI. That's the most RBI Reyes has posted since back in February of 2024. Another player making a difference was Karrington Bennett, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2.

Etiwanda was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .607. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .375 or higher in three consecutive games.

Etiwanda's win bumped their record up to 5-1. As for Aquinas, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-3.

Etiwanda and Aquinas' offenses will be put to the test in their next games. Etiwanda and Ganesha (who has only given up 2.67 runs per game) will meet at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Etiwanda's pitching crew has only allowed one run per game this season, so Aquinas' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Similarly, Aquinas will take on Yucaipa at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, a squad that's only allowed two runs per game. Etiwanda is looking to tack on another W to their six-game streak on the road dating back to last season.
