Muir hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most four strikeouts in three consecutive contests.

The victory was their first on the road , bumping their record up to 9-3. As for Wilson, with the loss, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-2.

Coming up, Muir will take on Burroughs at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Burroughs' pitching crew has only allowed 1.8 runs per game this season, so Muir's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Wilson, they will challenge Los Altos at 3:00 p.m. on Monday.
