It may have taken nine innings to finish the job, but Danville ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They had just enough and edged out the Centennial Chargers 3-2. The Vikings haven't had any issues with the Chargers recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.

Deana Linares spent all nine innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on eight hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Danville saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kendall Rannenbarger, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. That stolen base marked the first that Rannenbarger has snagged this season. Another was Paisley Bean, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI.

Danville's win bumped their record up to 7-8. As for Centennial, they dropped their record down to 3-7 with the defeat, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season.

Coming up, Danville will welcome Georgetown-Ridge Farm at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Buffaloes have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.27 runs per game on average), something the Vikings will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Centennial, they will head out to face off against Paxton-Buckley-Loda at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Chargers are facing the Panthers at the right time seeing as the Panthers are stuck on an eight-game losing streak.
