Burroughs barely beat Serrano the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Burroughs never let Serrano get on the board and left with an 18-0 victory on Thursday. Considering the Burros have won eight games by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Joaquin Vasquez was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Burroughs is undefeated when he allows at most two walks, but 3-4 otherwise. Vasquez was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in five of his six plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in February.

In other batting news, Kanon Schiller was incredible, going 5-for-6 with one home run, four runs, and two stolen bases. That's the most runs he has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Andrew Haas, who scored three runs while going 3-for-5.

Burroughs always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .593. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Serrano only posted an OBP of .286.

Burroughs' win bumped their record up to 10-4. As for Serrano, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-8.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Burroughs will challenge rival Sultana at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Burroughs 3.9, Sultana 4.1) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Serrano is set to square off against their familiar foe Hesperia at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
