Considering the Trojans have won 11 contests by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-4. He is becoming a predictor of Tara's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-5 when he doesn't).

In other batting news, Tara got a big performance out of Don Rochon, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI. Those three hits gave Rochon a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Tyrick Patin, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1.
