The Warriors' 15-0, three-inning victory over A-C Valley Monday at Kelly Automotive Park marked their 11th consecutive win. In only one of those games — Friday's 8-2 triumph over Keystone — did they have to play more than five innings.
“Those boys have been playing ball together for a while and they have a strong hunger to win,” Moniteau athletic director John Stoughton said. “They keep getting better because they are so dedicated.

Consider the following:
Moniteau has outscored its opponents 152-6 during its current winning streak.
The Warriors' team batting average is .399 and none of the starters are hitting below .330. The team's earned run average is 1.81.
