Aubrey Becker put in work no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and eight unearned) runs off five hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-5.

In other batting news, Braynija Pool was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while going 2-for-4. Kiley Price also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Snook has been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-15-1 record this season. As for Iola, their victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 5-6.

Looking ahead, Snook will challenge Burton at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Panthers' pitching crew has only allowed 2.9 runs per game this season, so the Bluejays' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Iola has already played their next matchup (against Non Varsity Opponent), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
