While Arcadia put up plenty of runs on Friday, the same can't be said for Glendale. The Apaches blew past the Nitros 11-0. Considering the Apaches have won nine matches by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Gus Cooper looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Tarik Reese was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, five RBI, and one double. That double was his first of the season. Another player making a difference was Keyonn Chatman, who scored two runs while going 2-for-2.

Arcadia always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .615. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Glendale only posted an OBP of .167.

The win was the third in a row for Arcadia, bringing their record up to 16-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.7 runs over those games. As for Glendale, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-13.

Looking ahead, Arcadia will challenge Torrance at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. As for Glendale, they will square off against Burbank at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bulldogs' pitching crew has only allowed 3.3 runs per game this season, so the Nitros' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
