Etiwanda came out on top against Upland on Monday thanks in part to the team's impressive eight-run fourth inning. The Eagles were the clear victors by a 14-7 margin over the Highlanders/Scots. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 13 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Alyssa Galindo was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and six unearned) runs off 11 hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-5 with two RBI and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Etiwanda let Dailynn Battee and Frankie Nevarez run wild. Battee got on base in four of her five plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and two RBI, while Nevarez got on base in three of her five plate appearances with one home run and four RBI. Battee is on a roll when it comes to home runs, as she's now launched at least one in each of the last four games she's played. Taylor Wren also deserves some recognition as she launched her first home run of the season.

Etiwanda lost a few balls and finished the game with four home runs. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now launched at least two home runs in four consecutive contests.

Etiwanda is on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 16 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-3 record this season. As for Upland, the loss snapped their winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 16-6 record.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Etiwanda will face off against rival Los Osos at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Upland is set to take on their familiar foe Chino Hills at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Highlanders/Scots 3.9, the Huskies 4) so any runs scored will be well earned.
