13 must be Montrose's lucky number: they beat Bennett with that score not once but twice on Saturday. The Red Hawks never let the Tigers get on the board and left with a 13-0 win. Considering the Red Hawks have won 11 games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Bentley Schiller made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, firing off two home runs and five RBI while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. What's more, she posted two runs, the most she's had over her last 11 matchups.

In other batting news, Montrose let Isabelle Mott and Jaytli Cannizzo run wild. Mott went 2-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double, while Cannizzo went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Arianna Mora, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

Montrose always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .586. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bennett only posted an OBP of .143.

Montrose's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-5. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.3 runs over those games. As for Bennett, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 9-9.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Montrose will face off against Fruita Monument at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Red Hawks 3, the Wildcats 2.5) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Bennett, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Middle Park at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Panthers will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each contest than the last.
