Del Oro won against Elk Grove last Tuesday with five runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Wednesday. The Del Oro Golden Eagles walked away with a 5-1 win over the Ponderosa Bruins. While the Golden Eagles didn't have the best season last year (they finished 7-19), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Mikayla Finn spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on seven hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Abby Davidson was incredible, going 1-for-2 with one home run and two runs. That home run was her first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Avyn Brower, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI and one double.
Davidson wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Del Oro lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
