Chowchilla never let their opponents score on Friday. Everything went their way against the Sierra Chieftains as they made off with a 10-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Tribe, who have now won six matches by ten runs or more so far this season.

Heaven Moore made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out 12 over six innings pitched. Those 12 strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, going 4-for-5 with five RBI, three doubles, and two runs.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Avery Tomlinson, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs and one triple. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February. Ava Diaz also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

Chowchilla was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .444. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

Chowchilla has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Sierra, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-7.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Chowchilla will welcome Hollister at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Haybalers' pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Tribe's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Sierra, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Minarets at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Mustangs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.21 runs per game on average), something the Chieftains will no doubt try to take advantage of.
