As for Lebanon, the victory was the 12th in a row for them, bringing their record up to 23-3. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games.

On Lebanon's side, Sophia Sheidler was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Sheidler has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 22 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI.

Sheidler wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Paislie Stansberry, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI. That's the most RBI Stansberry has posted since back in April. Kennedy Jauch was another, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one run.
