Rocky Mountain had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Borah on Thursday. The Grizzlies' pitcher stepped up to hand the Lions a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Grizzlies have won nine games by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Lincoln Mathis was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out 13 over six innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one walk in eight consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two doubles. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, Jackson Wendt was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four runs, and two RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Carter Harrison, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two RBI.

Rocky Mountain always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Borah only posted an OBP of .053.

The win was the fourth in a row for Rocky Mountain, bringing their record up to 17-6. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games. As for Borah, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-15 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Rocky Mountain is set to take on their familiar foe Capital at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The timing is sure in the Grizzlies' favor as the squad sits on five straight wins at home while the Golden Eagles have been banged up by four consecutive losses on the road. Meanwhile, Borah will square off against rival Timberline at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
