Proctor waltzed into their contest on Wednesday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They were the clear victors by a 26-3 margin over the Arlington Memorial Eagles. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 29-0 back in April.

Olivia Graham made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with five RBI and two runs.

In other batting news, Proctor got a massive performance out of Ella Strong, who went 3-for-4 with seven RBI, two triples, and two runs. Strong is also on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Bizzy Farley was another key player, getting on base in all five of her plate appearances with three stolen bases and three runs.

Proctor always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .854. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive games.
