Considering the Coyotes have won six contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. He has become a key player for Arizona Lutheran Academy: the team is 6-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 1-7 otherwise.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Owen Beilke, who scored three runs and stole three bases while going 4-for-4. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Rafael Guerrero was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
