Dysart had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Cortez on Monday. The Demons blew past the Colts 11-1. The result was nothing new for the Demons, who have now won six matches by ten runs or more so far this season.

Juan Anaya spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on two hits and racked up nine Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Dysart got a big performance out of Eduardo Carranza, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs and one stolen base. Carranza is becoming a predictor of the Demons' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-8 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Marcos Leyva Garcia, who went 3-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Dysart always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Cortez only posted an OBP of .280.

Dysart's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-8. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.7 runs over those games. As for Cortez, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost nine of their last ten games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-18-1 record this season.

Dysart will have a chance to go back-to-back against Cortez: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
