Ontario barely beat Pleasant the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Warriors put the hurt on the Spartans with a sharp 13-3 victory on Wednesday. Considering the Warriors have won seven games by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Morgan Pearson spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on six hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
