The Pharr-San Juan-Alamo North Raiders put the hurt on the McAllen Bulldogs with a sharp 9-3 victory. Considering the Raiders have won six matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

The dominant performance gave Villegas a new career-high in hits. Layla Garza was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.

Pharr-San Juan-Alamo North kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in four consecutive games.

Pharr-San Juan-Alamo North is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-5 record this season.
