Holbrook had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Alchesay on Tuesday. The Roadrunners' pitcher stepped up to hand the Falcons a 12-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Roadrunners, who have now won seven games by nine runs or more so far this season.

Tamryn Baldonado made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over five innings pitched. Baldonado was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.

In other batting news, Jaycee Greer and Angelica Uranga did most of the damage at the plate: Greer scored two runs while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances, while Uranga scored two runs while going 1-for-3. Another player making a difference was Kentrall John, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances.

The victory was the third in a row for Holbrook, bringing their record up to 10-6. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Alchesay, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-12 record this season.

Holbrook and Alchesay could both be facing uphill battles in their next games considering their disadvantage in the MaxPreps Arizona Rankings. The Roadrunners (ranked 130th) will meet Joseph City (ranked 47th) at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, Alchesay will square off against Snowflake at 2:30 p.m. on Friday with a big rank disadvantage (201 vs. 59).
