They weren't the only one making solid contact: Enochs 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 matches.

Audrey Bailey made a splash while hitting and pitching. She struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.

Enochs pushed their record up to 12-3 with the win, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Turlock, their record now sits at 8-12.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Enochs has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Turlock struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
