Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mission Bay). They were the clear victors by a 19-2 margin over the San Diego Cavers on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Buccaneers, who have now won ten matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Abby Nelson made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 13 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two doubles. Those three hits gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Mission Bay got a massive performance out of Angelie Pablos, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. That's the most runs Pablos has posted since back in April of 2024. Kimber Manuel also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Mission Bay always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .647. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The win (which was Mission Bay's eighth in a row) raised their record to 15-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.9 runs on average over those games. As for San Diego, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-19 record this season.
Mission Bay will host Coronado at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Buccaneers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Islanders have averaged an impressive 6.4 runs per game this season. San Diego does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
