After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Bishop Union, Desert was happy to have turned things around on Friday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Mammoth Huskies an 11-0 shutout. This was a revenge game for the Scorpions: when they faced off against the Huskies back in April, they had to take a 18-6 defeat.

Not much got past Landon Kizzer, who gave up just a hit and racked up 13 Ks to keep Mammoth off the board. Kizzer has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one hit in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Evan Dion, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI, two doubles, and one stolen base. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. Elijah Warfield was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

The win snapped Desert's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 7-11 record. As for Mammoth, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-13 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Desert will face off against Rosamond at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The Roadrunners have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.91 runs per game on average), something the Scorpions will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Mammoth, they will challenge Lee Vining at 3:15 p.m. on Monday.
