Melba had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 13.7 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Tuesday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Parma Panthers a 6-0 shutout. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 contests by six runs or more this season.

Cooper Brooks made a big impact no matter where he played. He tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one home run and four RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Colter Bodily, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March.

Melba's win bumped their record up to 14-2. As for Parma, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-10.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Melba will challenge Marsing at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Mustangs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Huskies have averaged an impressive 6.1 runs per game this season. As for Parma, they will take on Vision at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Vision has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 12.78 runs per game on average), something Parma will no doubt try to take advantage of.
