Diagonal lost 11-1 to Twin Cedars on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Murray). Everything went their way against Melcher-Dallas on Tuesday as they made off with an 18-1 win. Considering the Mustangs have won ten contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
The victory made it two in a row for Murray and bumps their season record up to 11-3. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 1 runs in those games. As for Diagonal, their loss dropped their record down to 1-5.
