Dexter waltzed into their match on Friday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They were the clear victors by a 10-0 margin over the Portales Rams. Considering the Demons have won seven contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

The result came thanks to Danyela Munoz's shutout, as she gave up just five hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Melody Duran was incredible, going 3-for-5 with five RBI, one run, and one double. Those three hits gave her a new career-high. Hannah Sanders was another key player, scoring three runs while going 3-for-5.

Duran wasn't the only one making solid contact: Dexter kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in three consecutive games.

Dexter's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-1. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Portales, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 9-7.

Looking ahead, Dexter will welcome Ruidoso at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Demons 1.5, the Warriors 4.1) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Portales, they wasted no time getting back out on the field and have already played their next matchup, a 4-3 loss against Robertson on the 12th.
