Bagdad won the last time they faced Desert Heights Prep and things went their way on Thursday too. The Sultans were the clear victors by a 20-5 margin over the Yote. Considering the Sultans have won seven matches by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Kiah Morris made a big impact no matter where she played. She tossed four innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off one hit. Morris was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. That stolen base marked the first that she snagged this season.

In other batting news, Jadyn Rodriguez was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and one triple. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Bria Moseley also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

Bagdad always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .697. Their OBP was a full 0 higher than the also-impressive .526 that Desert Heights Prep posted.

Bagdad is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.0 runs over those games. As for Desert Heights Prep, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-8.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Bagdad is set to face off against their familiar foe Salome at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Desert Heights Prep will challenge rival Anthem Prep at 3:00 p.m. on Friday.
