Millikan came tearing into Tuesday's game with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.2 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Atascadero Greyhounds a 10-0 shutout. The Rams might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by eight runs or more this season.

Millikan let Connor Patton and Xavier Kennard run wild. Patton scored two runs while going 2-for-3, while Kennard scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2. The dominant performance also gave Patton a new career-high in RBI (three). Another player making a difference was Andrew Perez, who scored three runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

Millikan hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Atascadero struck out ten times.

Millikan pushed their record up to 16-5 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.1 runs over those games. As for Atascadero, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-10 record this season.

Millikan will be taking part in a tournament against Credo at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Atascadero, they will take on Dos Pueblos in a tournament on Wednesday. The Chargers' pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Greyhounds' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
