Moriarty came tearing into Wednesday's matchup with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 14.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They blew past the Socorro Warriors 13-3. The Pintos might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by ten runs or more this season.

Isabella Gallegos was a major factor no matter where she played. She pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in March of 2024.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Shae Rios, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Ainsley Milligan, who scored a run while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances.

Moriarty always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .676. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .667 or higher in four consecutive contests.

Moriarty's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for Socorro, they are on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-3.
