After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Long Beach Poly, Saint Joseph was happy to have turned things around on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the St. Anthony Saints with a sharp 15-5 victory. The result was nothing new for the Jesters, who have now won nine matchups by eight runs or more so far this season.

Eris Garcia made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with one triple and one RBI. That triple was her first of the season.

In other batting news, Carmen Henderson was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Julianna Vasquez also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

Saint Joseph hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in 12 consecutive games.

Saint Joseph is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-9 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.0 runs over those games. As for St. Anthony, they dropped their record down to 0-9 with the defeat, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season.

Looking ahead, Saint Joseph will be playing at home against St. Paul at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday.

As for St. Anthony, they will head out on the road to challenge Paraclete at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. The Saints will need to watch out since the Spirits have now posted at least ten runs in their last four matches.
