Mather never let their opponents score on Thursday. They were the clear victors by an 18-0 margin over the Prosser Falcons. The result was nothing new for the Rangers, who have now won nine contests by ten runs or more so far this season.

Jeriel Mejias was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Mather is 6-3 when he allows at most one earned run, but 6-7 otherwise. Mejias was even better at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, Mather got a massive performance out of Lucas Lambert, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Lambert has become a key player for the Rangers: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two stolen bases, but 8-10 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Devin Monzon, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two runs and two RBI.

Mather always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .622. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

The victory (which was Mather's third in a row) raised their record to 12-10. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.7 runs over those games. As for Prosser, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-8 record this season.

Mather has already played their next game (against Little Village), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. As for Prosser, they will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Amundsen at 4:30 p.m. on the 29th.
