St. Joseph put their dominant pitcher on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Tuesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Saint Mary's Hall Barons a 12-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Flyers, who have now won 15 matches by six runs or more so far this season.

The team relied heavily on Valery Villareal, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in doubles (three). Elizabeth Arnecke also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

St. Joseph's win was their 15th straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 17-4. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games.
