The Warriors' pitchers stepped up to hand the Trojans a 10-0 shutout on Thursday. Considering the Warriors have won nine games by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and one RBI.
