Cienega barely beat Sunnyside the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Bobcats were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over the Blue Devils on Wednesday. Considering the Bobcats have won nine contests by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Kat Gonzalez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on five hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Alexa Yarger, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. Those three hits gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Allison Mullen, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, two doubles, and one triple.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Cienega kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They are a perfect 6-0 when they post 11 or more hits.
Cienega's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-10. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games.
