Burroughs waltzed into their match on Tuesday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They put the hurt on the Glendale Nitros with a sharp 16-2 victory. That's more bragging rights for the Bears, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Kalani Miramontes was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Miramontes was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Alyssa Morales, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with two runs, two RBI, and one double. Haven Vickers was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.

Burroughs always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .548. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Glendale only posted an OBP of .231.

Burroughs' win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 16-4. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.3 runs over those games. As for Glendale, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last ten games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-12-1 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Burroughs will host Crescenta Valley at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Bears' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Falcons have averaged an impressive 8.9 runs per game this season. As for Glendale, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Gabrielino at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Eagles have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 16.93 runs per game on average), something the Nitros will no doubt try to take advantage of.
