Muir was not the first on the board on Monday, but they got there more often. They were the clear victor by a 12-3 margin over the La Canada Spartans. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won six matchups by eight runs or more so far this season.

Gianna (GiGi) Butler was a major factor no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-5 with three RBI and one double.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Abigail (Abi) Milton, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. Eriel Wallace also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Muir kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 13 hits in four consecutive contests.

Muir's win was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.5 runs over those games. As for La Canada, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-4-1 record this season.

Muir has already played their next match (against Mark Keppel), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. As for La Canada, they will head out on the road to challenge Heritage Christian at 3:30 p.m. on March 17th. La Canada is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.1 runs per game this season.
