Wells came tearing into Saturday's contest with 13 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.1 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They were the clear victors by a 17-2 margin over the Pyramid Lake Lakers. Considering the Leopards have won 19 matchups by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Luis Garcia and Teagan Calton were major factors no matter where they played. Throwing, Garcia pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. Meanwhile, Calton tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in ten consecutive appearances. At the plate, Garcia went a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI and one run, while Calton went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases Calton has posted over his last nine games.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Cesar Beruman, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and two doubles. The team also got some help courtesy of Gage Uhlig, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI.

Wells always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .710. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .529 or higher in six consecutive contests.

Wells pushed their record up to 21-3 with the win, which was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Pyramid Lake, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-9.

Coming up, Wells will take on Non Varsity Tournament Opponent at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Non Varsity Tournament Opponent has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.57 runs per game on average), something Wells will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Pyramid Lake, they will face off against Coleville at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.
