15 must be Monte Vista's lucky number: they beat Sanford with that score not once but twice on Saturday. The Pirates beat the Mustangs by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 15-6. The Pirates might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 14 games by six runs or more this season.

Landon Sanchez made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed 3.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI. Those two hits gave him a new career-high.

In other pitching news, Kobe Jiron looked comfortable as he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.

Back at the plate, Monte Vista got a massive performance out of Kaden Madrid, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI Madrid has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Manny Jiron, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.

Monte Vista was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .412. They are a perfect 12-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

The win made it two in a row for Monte Vista and bumps their season record up to 14-6. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.0 runs over those games. As for Sanford, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-10.

As of now, neither Monte Vista nor the Mustangs have any future games scheduled.
