The matchup between St. Clair and Armada on Wednesday hardly resembled the 3-0 effort from their previous meeting. The Saints were the clear victors by a 13-7 margin over the Tigers. Considering the Saints have won six contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Hayley McFarlane spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered six earned (and one unearned) runs on ten hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Madisyn Treat, who went a perfect 5-for-5 with one home run, three runs, and one triple. Those five hits gave her a new career-high. Addison Oles was another key player, going 3-for-4 with one home run and two runs.

They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: St. Clair lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now launched at least two home runs in three consecutive matches.

St. Clair pushed their record up to 9-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. As for Armada, they moved to 7-2 with that defeat, which also ended their five-game winning streak.

Looking ahead, St. Clair will square off against Sterling Heights Stevenson at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Saints are facing the Titans at the right time seeing as the Titans are stuck on a nine-game losing streak. As for Armada, they will head out to square off against Richmond at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
