Del Sol had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Thursday. They put the hurt on the Sunrise Mountain Miners with a sharp 21-5 win. Considering the Dragons have won six matches by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Erik Gonzalez was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over four innings pitched. Gonzalez was also big at the plate, scoring three runs while getting on base in two of his five plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Del Sol got a massive performance out of Tony Luna, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Those three runs gave Luna a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of George Morales, who scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

Del Sol kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post 11 or more hits.

Del Sol pushed their record up to 7-5 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Sunrise Mountain, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-7.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Del Sol will venture away from home to square off against Silverado at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Sunrise Mountain, they will head out to challenge Pahrump Valley at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Pahrump Valley's pitching crew has only allowed 3.4 runs per game this season, so Sunrise Mountain's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
