Galileo's rock-solid pitchers showed up for the team's third consecutive shutout on Thursday. They never let the Leadership Griffin get on the board and left with an 11-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won nine contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Zane Ridley was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in eight consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing four bases while going 3-for-4. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Diego Gil, who scored three runs and stole four bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Barry Tsang also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

Galileo's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-2. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.8 runs over those games. As for Leadership, they are on an eight-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5.

Looking ahead, Galileo will host Urban at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Leadership, they will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Burton at 3:30 p.m. on the 23rd.
