She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances.

Tahoma kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in six consecutive games.

Tahoma's win was their 14th straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 13-2. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Mt.
