St. Joseph won the last time they faced McMahon and things went their way on Monday too. The Cadets were the clear victors by a 20-1 margin over the Senators. Considering the Cadets have won eight contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Katie Dzialo made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 13 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three runs, one double, and one RBI. Those three runs gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, St. Joseph let Molly Kery and Makena Hawkins run wild. Kery got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Hawkins went 2-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and one triple. Those four RBI gave Hawkins a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Kelsey Flanagan, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs, one double, and one RBI.

St. Joseph kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in five consecutive matchups.

St. Joseph has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.3 runs over those games. As for McMahon, their loss dropped their record down to 4-11.

Coincidentally, St. Joseph and McMahon will both be playing Wilton the next time they take the field. The Cadets will host the Warriors at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, while the Senators will head out to face them at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
