Monterey extended their winning streak to 11 on Monday, bumping their season record up to 19-3-1 in the process. They put the hurt on the Hollister Haybalers with a sharp 17-2 victory. The Dores might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten games by seven runs or more this season.

Ella Myers made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 11 batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Anaiyah Brown, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with five RBI, three runs, and one triple. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. Denae Lee was another key player, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with two RBI and one double.

Monterey kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in six consecutive contests.

As for Hollister, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-11 record this season. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss they have suffered since April 11th.

On Hollister's side, Maddy Rodriguez was cooking despite her team's loss, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one triple and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Grace Peffley, who went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases and two runs.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Monterey will take on rival Salinas at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Dores are on an 11-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), the Cowboys a six-game streak of away wins, meaning someone's leaving a streak behind. Meanwhile, Hollister is set to face off against their familiar foe Watsonville at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
