Brimfield's rock-solid pitcher showed up for the team's sixth consecutive shutout on Friday. They didn't even let the Limestone Rockets on the board, marking the Indians' second-straight 11-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Indians, who have now won 12 matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Sawyer Drury was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out ten over five innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Josie Wiewel, who went 2-for-3 with four RBI, one triple, and one stolen base. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Adelyn Magee, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.

Brimfield hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least four batters in six consecutive contests.

Brimfield pushed their record up to 19-2 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for Limestone, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-8 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Brimfield will face off against Illini Bluffs at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Indians will need to watch out since the Tigers have now posted at least ten runs in their last five matchups. As for Limestone, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Metamora at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Redbirds will roll in looking for their ninth straight victory, something the Rockets surely won't give up without a fight.
