El Capitan barely beat Del Norte the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Vaqueros never let the Nighthawks get on the board and left with a 6-0 win on Monday. The Vaqueros might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four contests by six runs or more this season.
The result came thanks to Makenna Burton's shutout, as she gave up just six hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Cassidy Sterling was excellent, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one run and one double. That double marked the first that she has hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Kylee Frazier, who went 3-for-4 with one RBI.
The victory (which was El Capitan's third in a row) raised their record to 7-3. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for Del Norte, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming matchups. El Capitan will venture away from home to square off against Escondido Charter at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The White Tigers' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Vaqueros' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Del Norte, they are taking a road trip to challenge Bonita Vista at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Nighthawks' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Barons have averaged an impressive 8.7 runs per game this season.
