Meanwhile, Glenmora won against Monterey on Tuesday with 12 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Thursday. Glenmora didn't even let Monterey on the board, marking Glenmora's second-straight 12-0 shutout. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matchups by seven runs or more this season.

Glenmora is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. Lafayette Renaissance Charter Academy's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-12.
