After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Southeast Career Tech, Foothill was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. They were the clear victors by a 17-0 margin over the Las Vegas Wildcats. The result was nothing new for the Falcons, who have now won six games by 12 runs or more so far this season.

Jordan Ackerman made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with five RBI, two runs, and one double. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Kameryn Morales was a standout: she went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Brynlie Mitchell, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Foothill kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Las Vegas only managed three hits.

Foothill has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-9-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.5 runs over those games. As for Las Vegas, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-8.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Foothill will host Desert Oasis at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
