Sierra never let their opponents score on Thursday. They put the hurt on the Minarets Mustangs with a sharp 10-0 victory. The Chieftains might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by six runs or more this season.

Meanwhile, Young didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Blue has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. At bat, Blue scored a run while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances, while Young scored three runs while going 4-for-4. Those four hits gave Young a new career-high.

In other batting news, David Rivas was excellent, scoring a run while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Micah Goodman, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI.

Sierra kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in seven consecutive contests.

Sierra has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.1 runs over those games. As for Minarets, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-8.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Sierra will head out to face off against Chowchilla at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Minarets, they will venture away from home to square off against Fowler at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Redcats' pitching crew has only allowed 2.3 runs per game this season, so the Mustangs' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
