Monument Valley waltzed into their matchup on Wednesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They blew past the Monticello Buckaroo 19-2. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten contests by eight runs or more this season.
Adrianna Dominguez was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out 11 batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base.
In other batting news, Meya-Raye Bahe was a standout: she went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. Enve Norton also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
Monument Valley always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .844. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Monument Valley pushed their record up to 14-5 with the victory, which was their eighth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.9 runs over those games. As for Monticello, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-11 record this season.
