Granbury barely beat Saginaw the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Granbury put the hurt on Saginaw with a sharp 7-1 win on Friday. Considering the Pirates have won six matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Levi Martinez was a major factor no matter where he played. He tossed 1.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. What's more, he posted four strikeouts, the most he's had since back in February. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 1-for-3.

In other batting news, Brazos Cornelison was excellent, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one RBI. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Jackson Arnett was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances.

Granbury hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Saginaw struck out 12 times.

Granbury's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-5. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Saginaw, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost 11 of their last 12 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-13-1 record this season.

When Granbury and Saginaw next hit the field, they'll be up against teams who recently just can't seem to lose. Granbury will face off against Birdville and their five-game winning streak at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Granbury 2.7, Birdville 4) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Saginaw will try to stop Azle's three-game winning streak when they meet at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
