Lumen Christi Catholic entered their tilt with Napoleon on Wednesday with eight consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with nine. They had just enough and edged out the Pirates 4-2. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 9-2 on Wednesday.

Ollie Powers was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI and one double.

Powers wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Alison Furnas, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases. Those two stolen bases gave Furnas a new career-high.

Lumen Christi Catholic pushed their record up to 22-7 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.8 runs over those games.
