CIARA BABCOCK made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits. BABCOCK was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.

In other pitching news, JESSENIA MOORE looked comfortable as she struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances.

Back at the plate, MAKAILA RIGGS was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, seven RBI, and three runs. Those seven RBI gave her a new career-high. SAMI OLSON also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

Temescal Canyon always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .657. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Temescal Canyon pushed their record up to 15-5 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.2 runs over those games. As for San Jacinto, they have been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last 11 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-10 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Temescal Canyon will square off against Elsinore at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Titans' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Tigers have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season.
