Thunderbird won the last time they faced Goldwater and things went their way on Wednesday too. The Titans blew past the Bulldogs 20-7. The result was nothing new for the Titans, who have now won 13 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Tyson Gorder was a major factor no matter where he played. He pitched four innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs.

In other batting news, Weston Lewis was a standout: he went 3-for-4 with four runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Thunderbird's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 14-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Evan Kolesar, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one double.

Thunderbird kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since back in February.

The victory (which was Thunderbird's fifth in a row) raised their record to 16-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Goldwater, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last nine matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-8 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Thunderbird is set to challenge their familiar foe Paradise Honors at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Titans 2.8, the Panthers 3.9) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Goldwater will face off against rival Shadow Mountain at 3:45 p.m. on Monday.
