Arcadia came tearing into Tuesday's matchup with seven straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.4 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Burroughs Bears a 10-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Apaches, who have now won 11 contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Arcadia got a great performance from Gus Cooper as he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over five innings pitched. Cooper has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Julian Salmon, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one double, and one RBI. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Leo Peniche, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs.

Arcadia was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .417. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive games.

Arcadia's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 21-2. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Burroughs, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 18-6 record this season.

Arcadia will have a chance to go back-to-back against Burroughs: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
