After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Palm Desert, Shadow Hills was happy to have turned things around on Monday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Rancho Mirage Rattlers, sneaking past 4-3. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 6-5 back in March.

Nick Rodriquez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing six innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. Rodriquez was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one run and one double.

Rodriquez wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Daniel Ceja, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI.

Shadow Hills has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.4 runs over those games. As for Rancho Mirage, they dropped their record down to 7-14 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road.

Shadow Hills didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, a 15-0 defeat against Buena on the 22nd. Hopefully Rancho Mirage paid attention to the Knights' matchup: the next time they hit the field , they'll take on the Knights at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
