Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hamilton). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Williams Yellowjackets a 30-0 shutout on Thursday. Considering the Braves have won ten matches by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Antonio Jauregui was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out nine over five innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, two stolen bases, and five RBI. Those four hits gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, Daniel Leal was a standout: he got on base in all six of his plate appearances with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. Patrick Matthews was another key player, going 3-for-5 with four runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.

Hamilton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .776. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Hamilton's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 16-6. Admittedly, the team didn't face the toughest opposition across those games, namely Williams, Portola, and Portola. As for the Yellowjackets, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-12.

Hamilton and Williams will both get a bit of extra prep time before their next contests. The next time the Braves see the field they'll take on Biggs at 4:00 p.m. on the 29th. As for Williams, their break will end when they face Portola at 1:00 p.m. on May 2.
