Riverside Prep lost a heartbreaker the last time they played University Prep, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Thursday's game. The Silver Knights blew past the Jaguars 10-4 on Thursday. The Silver Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by six runs or more this season.

Bree Garcia was a major factor no matter where she played. She tossed five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Liliana Cazares, who went 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Denise Hernandez was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.

Riverside Prep kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in 11 consecutive contests.

Riverside Prep's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-9. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games.
