Ventura barely beat Dos Pueblos the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Cougars were the clear victors by a 6-0 margin over the Chargers on Friday. Considering the Cougars have won nine contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Caleb Sebek and Cooper Tinkey made a big impact while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Sebek pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Tinkey didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. Sebek has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. At bat, Sebek went 2-for-4 with three RBI, while Tinkey went 2-for-3 with one run and one double. Those three RBI gave Sebek a new career-high.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Josh Woodworth, who went 1-for-3 with one run.

Ventura has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-6-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average over those games. As for Dos Pueblos, their defeat dropped their record down to 18-10.

Ventura wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next game, an 11-4 victory against Newbury Park on the 3rd. As for Dos Pueblos, they will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Katella at 3:15 p.m. on the 16th. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Chargers 3.5, the Knights 2.9) so any runs scored will be well earned.
