While Americas put up plenty of runs on Friday, the same can't be said for Bel Air. The Trail Blazers blew past the Highlanders 16-0. Considering the Trail Blazers have won ten contests by more than seven runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Giselle Alcala made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over five innings pitched. What's more, she posted five strikeouts, the most she's had since back in February. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and one triple.

In other batting news, Brianna Madrid was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run and four RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in February. Elahrai Rodriguez was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Americas always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .605. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive games.

Americas has been performing well recently as they've won 11 of their last 13 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-9 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.5 runs over those games. As for Bel Air, they dropped their record down to 4-18 with the defeat, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season.

Coincidentally, Americas and Bel Air will both be playing Horizon the next time they take the field. The Trail Blazers will host the Scorpions at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, while the Highlanders will head out to face them at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
