Pearland not only won on Friday, but they posted their biggest win since March 18th. They never let the Shadow Creek Sharks get on the board and left with an 8-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Oilers, who have now won nine games by six runs or more so far this season.

Nicholas Partida made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played.

In other pitching news, Grant Shepherd looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.

Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Hunter Golden, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March.

Pearland has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Shadow Creek, with the defeat, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 13-11.

Coincidentally, Pearland and Shadow Creek will both be playing South Houston the next time they take the field. The Sharks will head out to face the Trojans at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, while the Oilers will host them at 6:00 p.m. on the 22nd.
