Amador had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Union Mine on Thursday. The Buffaloes blew past the Diamondbacks 18-8. The result was nothing new for the Buffaloes, who have now won nine contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Jessica Mittelstadt made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and six unearned) runs off eight hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Those two runs gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Sydney Faria, who went 2-for-5 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Another player making a difference was Sophia Dooley, who went 2-for-4 with three runs and two RBI.

Amador lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

The win was the third in a row for Amador, bringing their record up to 13-8-1. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Union Mine, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-11.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Amador is set to challenge their familiar foe El Dorado at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Union Mine will take on rival Galt at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
