Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Fremont). They never let Mason County Central get on the board and left with a 20-0 win on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Packers, who have now won 12 games by seven runs or more so far this season.
Kam Clark made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Clark was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with six RBI, four runs, and one double. Those four hits gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Maddie Baden was a standout: she went a perfect 4-for-4 with six RBI, two doubles, and one stolen base. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. Gracie Clark was another key player, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple.
Fremont kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 20 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in seven consecutive contests.
Fremont's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-5-1. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for Orchard View, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-11.
Orchard View might still be hurting after the 19-5 loss they got from Fremont in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. Will the Cardinals have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
