Mountain View had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Boise on Tuesday. The Mavericks blew past the Brave 11-1. The result was nothing new for the Mavericks, who have now won six contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Tate Baird looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits. What's more, he posted four strikeouts, the most he's had since back in March.

On the hitting side, Tav Hiaring was excellent, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. Preston Flournoy was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.

Mountain View always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Mountain View's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-7. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Boise, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-9 record this season.

Mountain View will square off against Borah at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. As for Boise, they will challenge Nampa at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Bulldogs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.44 runs per game on average), something the Brave will no doubt try to take advantage of.
