King George came tearing into Friday's match with 11 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.4 runs), and they left with even more momentum.

That's the third time they've managed to beat them this season, with their most recent victory being a 1-0 win on May 6th.

Kelsea Minter spent all 13 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on six hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.

At the plate, King George's victory was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit.

The dominant performance also gave Buckwalter a new career-high in hits (two).

King George's win was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 16-5. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games.
