Golden extended their winning streak to five on Saturday, bumping them up to 15-5. They were the clear victors by a 21-9 margin over the Dakota Ridge Eagles. The Demons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 14 contests by six runs or more this season.

She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double.

Golden was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .489. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .360 or higher in five consecutive games.
As for Dakota Ridge, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.8 runs over those games.
On Dakota Ridge's side, Madison Drake made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 4-for-5 with four RBI, two doubles, and one run. Another player making a difference was Lexi Bortscheller, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two RBI, one run, and one double.
Looking ahead, Golden will face off against Alameda at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Pirates have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.53 runs per game on average), something the Demons will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Dakota Ridge, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Wheat Ridge at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Eagles' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Farmers have averaged an impressive 6.4 runs per game this season.
