Everything went the Indians' way against the Estacada Rangers as they made off with an 8-2 win. Considering the Indians have won six matches by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Kyler Dickerson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on two hits and racked up 11 Ks. He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Nyxon Hopping, who scored a run while going 2-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Garrett Brusseau, who scored a run and stole two bases.

Molalla hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in seven consecutive contests.

Molalla pushed their record up to 9-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Estacada, their loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 7-4-1.

Molalla will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Rangers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
