There's no place like home for Highland, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Monday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Palmdale Falcons a 10-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Bulldogs have won eight matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Highland let Arianna Young and Kenzie Martinez run wild. Young went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base, while Martinez scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3. That's the most stolen bases Martinez has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Aubrey Reyes, who scored two runs and stole three bases while getting on base in both of her plate appearances.

Highland has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 14-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Palmdale, they dropped their record down to 1-14 with the loss, which was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Highland will challenge rival Antelope Valley at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, Palmdale is set to face off against their familiar foe Littlerock at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday.
