Monte Vista also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Samantha Kaiman gave up four earned (and three unearned) runs on 11 hits and racked up six Ks.
Granada's loss ended a six-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 12-9. As for Monte Vista, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last nine matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-10 record this season.

However, it's not like Monte Vista struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.5 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
