Overland had lost four straight, but after bumping their record up to 7-7 on Tuesday that streak is in the rearview. They came out on top against the Kennedy Commanders by a score of 15-4 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). The Trailblazers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by six runs or more this season.

Michaela Halton made a splash no matter where she played. She struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk). Halton was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with four runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Malia Relford, who went 3-for-4 with five RBI, two runs, and one triple. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in September. Another player making a difference was Sasha Davis, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.

Overland always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .559. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Kennedy only posted an OBP of .364.

As for Kennedy, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-12-1 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games.

On Kennedy's side, Aleeyah Garcia was cooking despite her team's loss, going 1-for-2 with one home run and three RBI.

Looking ahead, Overland will welcome Lincoln at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Kennedy, they will head out on the road to square off against Peak to Peak at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Commanders' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Pumas have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season.
