MacArthur waltzed into their match on Friday with five straight wins... but they left with six. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Aldine Mustangs a 15-0 shutout. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 16-6 back in March.
Lizandra Garcia made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.
In other batting news, MacArthur got a massive performance out of Amanda Morales, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3. Morales is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Ariana Castillo was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
MacArthur's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-9-1. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for Aldine, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-16 record this season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. MacArthur will welcome Spring at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Generals will need to watch out since the Lions have now posted at least ten runs in their last eight contests. As for Aldine, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Westfield at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Westfield has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 19.7 runs per game on average), something Aldine will no doubt try to take advantage of.
