Alhambra's game on Wednesday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Thursday. They put the hurt on the North Mustangs with a sharp 16-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won 12 contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Christopher Martinez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, he posted five strikeouts, the most he's had since back in March. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base.

Alhambra always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .519. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as North only posted an OBP of .000.

Alhambra has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-6-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for North, they are on a 12-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-16.
