While Cactus Shadows put up plenty of runs on Saturday, the same can't be said for Lee Williams. Cactus Shadows put the hurt on Lee Williams with a sharp 15-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Falcons, who have now won nine games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Cash Duley looked comfortable as he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one hit in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Evan Hanish, who went 1-for-2 with four RBI, one run, and one double. Dominic Ziccarelli was another key player, scoring three runs while going 2-for-3.

Cactus Shadows was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .522. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .357 or higher in six consecutive matches.

Cactus Shadows' victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-0-1. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Lee Williams, their loss dropped their record down to 4-7.

Looking ahead, Cactus Shadows will look to defend their home field on Monday against Peoria at 3:45 p.m. Peoria has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.25 runs per game on average), something Cactus Shadows will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Lee Williams, they will head out to square off against Mingus at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Lee Williams' pitchers better be ready for this one: Mingus has averaged an impressive 6.6 runs per game this season.
