Diamond Hill-Jarvis came tearing into Thursday's matchup with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Everything went their way against the Western Hills Cougars as they made off with an 11-1 victory. Considering the Eagles have won eight contests by more than eight runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

CHRISTOPHER MARTINEZ spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Diamond Hill-Jarvis let DIEGO BASURTO and GABRIEL JAIME run wild. BASURTO went 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base, while JAIME went a perfect 2-for-2 with three stolen bases and three runs. BASURTO is becoming a predictor of Diamond Hill-Jarvis' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-11-1 when he doesn't). MILIANO RIOS was another key player, going 3-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base.

Diamond Hill-Jarvis pushed their record up to 10-11-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Western Hills, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-17-1.
