Desert View came tearing into Monday's game with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They blew past the Nogales Apaches 13-4. This was payback for the Jaguars, who suffered a 10-8 defeat the last time these two teams met.

Armando Gutierrez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on seven hits.

At the plate, Orlando Pinedo was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Cristobal Lorta, who went 2-for-4 with one home run and three RBI.

Desert View kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Nogales only managed five hits.

Desert View's win was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 14-4. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Nogales, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-7-1 record this season.

Desert View will have a chance to go back-to-back against Nogales: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
