Poly had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the nine-run drubbing they dealt Banning on Friday. Poly blew past Banning 12-3. The Bears might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by six runs or more this season.

Madyson Granillo tossed a big game, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up three earned runs off six hits. Those seven strikeouts gave her a new career-high.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Brookelyn Duerfeldt, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and four RBI. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Karly Romero, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.

Poly always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .556. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Banning only posted an OBP of .417.

Poly is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-3-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. Banning is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-7.

Looking ahead, Poly will be taking part in a tournament against Clovis at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. As for Banning, they have already played their next match, a 15-10 loss against Grand Terrace on the 21st.
