Arizona College Prep came tearing into Thursday's match with 13 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They were the clear victors by a 10-2 margin over the Chaparral Firebirds. The result was nothing new for the Knights, who have now won 12 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Arizona College Prep got a great performance from Liliana Gagnon as she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Gagnon has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Shelby O'Donnal was a standout: she went 2-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and one double. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. Daphne Rogers was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3.

Arizona College Prep pushed their record up to 16-3 with the victory, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Chaparral, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-11 record this season.

Arizona College Prep will head out to challenge Horizon at 3:45 p.m. on Monday. The Knights' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Huskies have averaged an impressive 6.6 runs per game this season. As for Chaparral, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against Saguaro at 3:45 p.m. The Sabercats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.94 runs per game on average), something the Firebirds will no doubt try to take advantage of.
