St. Michael hadn't done well against Robertson recently (they were 0-9 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Horsemen's pitcher stepped up to hand the Cardinals a 12-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Horsemen, who have now won 16 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Nadia Cedillo made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in nine consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.

In other batting news, Jaslene Ramirez was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and one triple. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in March. Kianna Trujillo also deserves some recognition as she launched her first home run of the season.

St. Michael's kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive matchups.

St. Michael's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-1. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.6 runs on average over those games. As for Robertson, with the loss, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 7-10.

Coincidentally, St. Michael's and Robertson will both be playing West Las Vegas the next time they take the field. The Horsemen will head out to face the Dons at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, while the Cardinals will head out to face them at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.
