Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Miyamura). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Rio Grande Ravens a 19-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Patriots have won six matches by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

ANDREA VINSON was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, ALAYNA VIDAL was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI. Those three hits gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was ALEXIS BEGAY, who scored three runs while going 2-for-2.

Miyamura kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in seven consecutive contests.

Miyamura is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.4 runs over those games. Rio Grande's defeat dropped their record down to 3-5.

Looking ahead, Miyamura will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Gallup at 6:00 p.m. As for Rio Grande, they will challenge Del Norte at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Del Norte will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each matchup than the last.
