Redwood had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Porterville on Thursday. The Rangers never let the Panthers get on the board and left with an 8-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Rangers, who have now won four contests by six runs or more so far this season.
The result came thanks to Reagan King's shutout, as she gave up just five hits and racked up 12 Ks. Those 12 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Jaden Lopez, who went 3-for-4 with one home run and five RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Gaby Vasquez, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
