As for Columbine, their win was their 13th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 14-5. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.7 runs over those games.

On Columbine's side, Addison Swenby spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits and racked up seven Ks.

At the plate, Melanie Newcomb was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in September. The team also got some help courtesy of Olivia Keiter, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.
