West Park had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Reedley on Wednesday. The Panthers' pitchers stepped up to hand the Pirates an 11-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won 11 games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Bradley Hunter looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, West Park got a massive performance out of Jayden McNeal, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2. Ethan Silva also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

West Park has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Reedley, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-9 record this season.

West Park will face off against Grant at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Pacers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.22 runs per game on average), something the Panthers will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Reedley, they will take on Hanford West at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Pirates are facing the Huskies at the right time seeing as the Huskies are stuck on a six-game losing streak.
