Seven must be Mesilla Valley Christian School's lucky number: they beat Capitan with that score not once but twice on Tuesday. The SonBlazers beat the Tigers by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 7-3. The SonBlazers haven't had any issues with the Tigers recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive win against them.
Maren Fiske spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on eight hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Joanna Hurd, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. Ella Rice also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
