It was a battle of two teams on winning streaks.  Park University Gilbert came in on a four-game winning streak, 16th-ranked Benedictine University Mesa came in having won 10 in a row. Behind strong pitching from Cody Daniels, the Redhawks extended their winning streak and brought the Buccaneers streak to a screeching halt by a final of 11-0 in seven innings.  Park Gilbert falls to 10-9 on the season, while Benedictine Mesa upped their record to 25-7.

Daniels (2-0) and relief pitcher Dalton Health combined to hold the Bucs to one hit for the game, a lead off single by catcher Alex Stinnett in the fourth inning to break up the perfect game. Only Cole Sneed, who reached on an error and designated hitter Frank Racioppo who reached via a walk reached base for the Bucs on the night. The farthest any Buccaneers got on the base paths was second, by Stinnett in the fourth.

Bryce Beck also saw his seven-game hitting streak come to an end on the evening, even though he put a charge into a couple of balls, they found their way into Redhawk gloves.

On the mound, the Buccaneers used six pitchers on the evening. Tyler Droke (0-1) started for the Bucs giving up four runs in 1 1/3 innings.  Meno Mata (2 2/3 inn), Skylar Waynick (1 1/3), Chase Provencio (2/3), Joseph Chavira (2/3), and Connor Barton (1/3) also saw action.

Up next for the Buccaneers is four conference games at Saint Katherine. The Firebirds boast a 9-6 record in the Cal Pac and are 25-14 overall.  They are coming off a four-game sweep at the hands of Benedictine Mesa last weekend.
