Rancho Buena Vista 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 Wednesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Valhalla Norsemen a 7-0 shutout. The Longhorns might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matches by six runs or more this season.
The result came thanks to Danica Nielsen's shutout, as she gave up just four hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Rancho Buena Vista let Abigail Niwata and Allison Keusch run wild. Niwata scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3, while Keusch scored two runs while going 2-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Riley McGee, who scored a run while going 1-for-4.
