Arroyo had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 16-run drubbing they dealt Tennyson on Wednesday. The Dons never let the Lancers get on the board and left with a 16-0 win. That 16 run margin sets a new team best for the Dons this season.

Arroyo let Marco Carbajal and Justin Nelson run wild. Carbajal went 1-for-4 with four runs, two stolen bases, and three RBI, while Nelson went 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases Carbajal has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Michael Loller, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Arroyo kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matches they've averaged 9.6.

Arroyo's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-8. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for Tennyson, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-9 record this season.

Arroyo wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next contest, a 16-3 loss against Berkeley on the 24th. Hopefully Tennyson paid attention to the Dons' match: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Dons at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
