On Monday, Linden got the win against Holly by a conclusive 13-2. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 19 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Kayla Widner (2025) was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with two RBI and one double.

In other batting news, Linden got a big performance out of Addi Siegwald (2027), who went 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. Lily Ciesielski (2028) was another key player, going 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Meanwhile, Fenton entered their matchup against Hartland on Tuesday without any home losses, but there's a first time for everything. The Tigers lost 15-3 to the Eagles. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for the Tigers, who until this contest were averaging 2.69 runs allowed.

Ally Turkowski was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one home run and two runs.

Linden pushed their record up to 23-2 with the victory, which was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.6 runs over those games. As for Fenton, their defeat dropped their record down to 21-4-1.

Everything went Linden's way against Fenton when the teams last played back in April, as Linden made off with a 7-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
