Wilton dropped down to 10-5 on Friday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins. They lost 11-5 to the St. Joseph Cadets. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for the Warriors, who until this game were averaging 3.8 runs allowed.

As for St. Joseph, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games.

On St. Joseph's side, Katie Dzialo made a splash while hitting and pitching. She struck out 17 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. Dzialo has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 13 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That stolen base marked the first that she has snagged this season.
