Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Shafter). They never let the Delano Tigers get on the board and left with an 18-0 win on Tuesday. The Generals might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 contests by six runs or more this season.

She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Miranda Ascencio, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Gizele Benavides also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
