Wheaton North came tearing into Monday's contest with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They were the clear victors by a 10-2 margin over the Geneva Vikings. Considering the Falcons have won seven games by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Madison Moore spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on eight hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Reagan Crosthwaite, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Abby Del Preto, who went 2-for-5 with three RBI.

Wheaton North hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Geneva struck out seven times.

Wheaton North pushed their record up to 14-2 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games.
