Sultana 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 Serrano on Thursday. The Sultans were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Diamondbacks. Considering the Sultans have won 13 games by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Savannah Vanderpool was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off one hit. Vanderpool was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jordan Mullinax, who fired off two home runs, five RBI, and three runs while going 3-for-4. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Aaliyah Huizar, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two doubles, and one run.

Sultana kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in five consecutive matches.

Sultana is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.7 runs over those games. As for Serrano, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-12.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Sultana will challenge rival Hesperia at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Serrano is set to face off against their familiar foe Oak Hills at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
