She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in March of 2024.

Those three runs gave Hale a new career-high. Lyla Leonhardt was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.

Clearfield's win was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-4. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.6 runs over those games. As for Northridge, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-7 record this season.

Clearfield will venture away from home to face off against Box Elder at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The Bees' pitching crew has only allowed 2.6 runs per game this season, so the Falcons' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Northridge, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Bountiful at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The RedHawks will roll in looking for their 12th straight win, something the Knights surely won't give up without a fight.
