MacArthur entered their tilt with McCollum on Thursday with three consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with four. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Cowboys a 6-0 shutout. The Brahmas might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by six runs or more this season.

Korey Alston made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has become a key player for MacArthur: the team is undefeated when he allows at most three hits, but 5-6 otherwise. Alston was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run and one stolen base.

In other pitching news, Wyatt Stevens looked comfortable as he pitched 1.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances.

Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Sebastian Laboy-Rodriguez, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played. Another player making a difference was Cohen Mayfield, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in both of his plate appearances.

MacArthur's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-6. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for McCollum, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-11.

Looking ahead, MacArthur will be playing at home against Southwest at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Brahmas 3.2, the Dragons 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for McCollum, they will head out to face off against Harlandale at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The last seven games the Indians have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
