Wasco had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 13.3 runs) and they went ahead and made it five on Thursday. They put the hurt on the Taft Wildcats with a sharp 10-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won eight contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Cedes Saldana made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in 15 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one double and one RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, Sienna Lugo was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Karime Raya also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Wasco's record is now 9-7-1. As for Taft, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-6.

Wasco will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Tehachapi at 4:00 p.m. on the 23rd. As for Taft, they will be taking part in a tournament against Templeton at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday.
