Kennedy came tearing into Thursday's game with nine straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 13.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Everything went their way against the Brooks Eagles as they made off with a 12-1 victory. The Crusaders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 contests by ten runs or more this season.

The team relied heavily on Ariel Huerta, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with seven stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. Those seven stolen bases gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Sophia Holguin, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with five stolen bases and three runs.

Kennedy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .692. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .595 or higher in ten consecutive matchups.

Kennedy's win bumped their record up to 11-3. As for Brooks, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-4 record this season.

Kennedy will have a chance to go back-to-back against Brooks: the pair will be back at it again later today.
