The Coyotes might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matches by six runs or more this season.

Centennial was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .390. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .390 or higher in six consecutive games.

Centennial has been performing well recently as they've won 11 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-6-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.8 runs over those games. As for Ironwood, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-10 record this season.

Centennial will have a chance to go back-to-back against Ironwood: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
