Del Oro's rock-solid pitchers showed up for the team's third consecutive shutout on Monday. They put the hurt on the Roseville Tigers with a sharp 8-0 win. The Golden Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matches by six runs or more this season.

Mikayla Finn looked comfortable as she struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 14 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Delaney Osborne was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in February. Avyn Brower was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.

Del Oro was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .394. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .394 or higher in six consecutive games.

Del Oro pushed their record up to 17-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.5 runs on average over those games. As for Roseville, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-7 record this season.

Del Oro and Roseville should be looking forward to their upcoming games as both have a sizable advantage in the MaxPreps California Rankings. The Golden Eagles (ranked fifth) will meet Whitney (ranked 38th) at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Del Oro 1.5, the Wildcats 3.1) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Roseville will square off against Nevada Union at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday with a big rank advantage (343 vs. 753).
