Casey-Westfield came tearing into Thursday's match with 11 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Everything went their way against the Robinson Maroons as they made off with an 8-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Warriors, who have now won 14 games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Ava Goble made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and one stolen base. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, Anna Karras and Allyson Truelove did most of the damage at the plate: Karras went 1-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base, while Truelove went 1-for-3 with one home run and four RBI. Karras has been hot for a while, having posted at least one stolen base the last nine times she's played. Tristan Ring was another key player, going 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.

Casey-Westfield lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Robinson didn't launched any home runs.

Casey-Westfield pushed their record up to 18-1 with the win, which was their 11th straight on the road dating back to last season. As for Robinson, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-8.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Casey-Westfield will welcome Oakwood at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Comets have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 6.73 runs per game on average), something the Warriors will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Robinson, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Linton-Stockton at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Miners' pitching crew has only allowed 2.5 runs per game this season, so the Maroons' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
