Woodlake had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Lindsay on Thursday. The Tigers blew past the Cardinals 12-2. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won nine matchups by nine runs or more so far this season.

Guillermo Rosales made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off six hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

In other batting news, Woodlake let Elias Lang and Brenden Doyle run wild. Lang went 1-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double, while Doyle went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run. Lang has become a key player for Woodlake: the team is 9-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 5-6 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Roman Rosales, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two RBI and one run.

Woodlake kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive contests.

Woodlake has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Lindsay, the loss snapped their winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 7-10-1 record.

Looking ahead, Woodlake will square off against Dinuba at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. As for Lindsay, they will take on Corcoran at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Cardinals' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Panthers have averaged an impressive 9.7 runs per game this season.
