Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sultana). They put the hurt on the Burroughs Burros with a sharp 19-1 victory on Thursday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

Maricruz Venegas made a splash while hitting and pitching. She pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Venegas was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with two runs and two RBI.

Another player making a difference was Jadielyn Rodriguez, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, two RBI, and one double.

Sultana was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .500. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .389 or higher in four consecutive contests.

Sultana has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games.
