Zuni had lost three straight, but after bumping their record up to 9-12 on Thursday that streak is in the rearview. Everything went their way against the Thoreau Hawks as they made off with a 23-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Thunderbirds, who have now won eight matchups by 11 runs or more so far this season.

As for Thoreau, their defeat was their first in the district, dropping their district record down to 2-1 and their overall record down to 5-8. They were red-hot at the plate heading into the contest (they scored no less than ten runs in the three games prior), but Zuni's pitchers proved too tough.

For Thoreau's part, Lathan Largo was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and two RBI. Largo is becoming a predictor of the Hawks' success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 2-1 (and 3-7 when he doesn't).

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Zuni beat Thoreau by a score of 23-5 later that day.
