Petaluma had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Napa on Wednesday. The Trojans never let the Grizzlies get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. The Trojans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by eight runs or more this season.

Petaluma got a great performance from Taylor Cook as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out nine over five innings pitched. Cook has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Lauren Wilson, who went 3-for-4 with three doubles, four RBI, and two runs. Those three doubles gave her a new career-high. Bella Hudson was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.

Petaluma was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .483. They are 10-1 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

The victory was the fourth in a row for Petaluma, bringing their record up to 13-5. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Napa, they have been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last ten matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-13 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Petaluma will square off against rival Casa Grande at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Trojans 2.8, the Gauchos 2.2) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Napa is set to challenge their familiar foe Justin-Siena at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
