Lauren Fettic was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. She struck out nine batters over 7.2 innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one RBI.

In other batting news, Olivia Watt made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 1-for-3 with three runs and one stolen base. She has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last six times she's played. Jaynie Burke also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

As for Skyview, the win was the third in a row for them, bringing their record up to 9-13. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games.

On Skyview's side, Makenna Shamy spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on six hits.

On the hitting side, Makayla Lytle was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Ella McMullen, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Bishop Kelly will face off against Nampa at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Knights' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bulldogs have averaged an impressive 8.3 runs per game this season. As for Skyview, they will square off against Emmett at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Huskies have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.94 runs per game on average), something the Hawks will no doubt try to take advantage of.
