Everything went their way against the Horizon Scorpions as they made off with a 17-2 victory. That's two games straight that the Trail Blazers have won by exactly 15 runs.
Sarah Aguilar looked comfortable as she pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. What's more, she posted five strikeouts, the most she's had since back in February.
On the hitting side, Americas got a massive performance out of Isabelle Garcia, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2. Those two stolen bases gave Garcia a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Miranda Heredia, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run and four RBI.
