Tooele had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 21-run drubbing they dealt Park City on Friday. The Buffaloes' pitcher stepped up to hand the Miners a 21-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Buffaloes, who have now won six matchups by eight runs or more so far this season.

Kenni Molgard looked comfortable as she tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Tooele got a massive performance out of Kaydence Pacheco, who went 2-for-5 with four RBI, two runs, and one double. Those four RBI gave Pacheco a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Kaedence Sheffield, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two runs and two RBI.

Tooele pushed their record up to 9-11 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 20.7 runs over those games. As for Park City, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-13 record this season.

Park City will face off against American Leadership Academy at 3:30 p.m. on Monday. The Miners' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Eagles have averaged an impressive 7.3 runs per game this season. Tooele will be paying especially close attention to Park City's game: after Park City faces off against Cottonwood, they'll take on Tooele again at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
