Otay Ranch waltzed into their matchup on Thursday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They put the hurt on the Mar Vista Mariners with a sharp 11-0 victory. That 11 run margin sets a new team best for the Mustangs this season.

Otay Ranch got a great performance from Moises Aguilar as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave Aguilar a new career-high in strikeouts (five).

At the plate, Otay Ranch let Jake Medina and Dimas Acevedo run wild. Medina went 2-for-5 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple, while Acevedo went a perfect 1-for-1 with four RBI, one triple, and one run. Those four RBI gave Acevedo a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Carlos Martinez, who scored two runs while going 3-for-3.

Otay Ranch kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

Otay Ranch's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-4. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Mar Vista, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-10 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Otay Ranch will head out to challenge Clairemont at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Mustangs 4, the Chieftains 2.2) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Mar Vista, they will take on Fallbrook in a tournament on Saturday. The Mariners are facing the Warriors at the right time seeing as the Warriors are stuck on a four-game losing streak.
