Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dallas). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Lebanon Warriors a 15-0 shutout on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Dragons, who have now won seven games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Dallas let Ruby Halligan and Harlow Nelson run wild. Halligan went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Nelson went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Those four hits gave Nelson a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Kaiya Woolsey, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, one run, and one double.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Dallas kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matches they've averaged 11.

Dallas has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.9 runs over those games. As for Lebanon, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-11.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Dallas will challenge rival Woodburn at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Lebanon is set to square off against their familiar foe South Albany at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
