Thornton's rock-solid pitcher showed up for the team's third consecutive shutout on Tuesday. They never let the Skyline Falcons get on the board and left with a 21-0 victory. Considering the Trojans have won 12 contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Mya Grady made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Makayla Florez, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in August. Sophia Ornelas was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Thornton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .893. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Thornton has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-2-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for Skyline, they are on a 27-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-11.

Looking ahead, Thornton will look to defend their home field on Friday against Conifer at 4:00 p.m. Skyline does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
