Carmel had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 13-run drubbing they dealt Marina on Friday. The Carmel Padres' pitcher stepped up to hand the Marina Mariners a 13-0 shutout. The victory continues a trend for the Padres in their matchups with the Mariners: they've now won five in a row.
Kristen Mastin was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only a hit while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. Those 12 strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while getting on base in two of her three plate appearances.
