While Foothill put up plenty of runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Shasta. The Cougars blew past the Wolves 15-0. The result was nothing new for the Cougars, who have now won 11 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Elisea Wiegand was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out ten over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one home run and five RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Foothill let Rylee Vakulich and TatiAnna Seuasoukseng run wild. Vakulich went 2-for-3 with three runs, two RBI, and one double, while Seuasoukseng went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs and two RBI. Those two RBI gave Seuasoukseng a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Malia Webb, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run.

Foothill always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Shasta only posted an OBP of .062.

The victory (which was Foothill's fifth in a row) raised their record to 20-5-1. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for Shasta, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 9-15.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Foothill is set to face off against their familiar foe Pleasant Valley at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Cougars 3.2, the Vikings 3.6) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Shasta will take on rival Red Bluff at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
