They put the hurt on the Spring Creek Spartans with a sharp 15-1 victory. Considering the Vaqueros have won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Lauren Smith was another key player, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and one RBI.
