Modoc had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.6 runs) and they went ahead and made it six on Friday. They walked away with an 8-3 win over the Etna Lions. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 3-2 on Friday.

Caelli DePaul made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run over 6.2 innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two runs and one triple.

In other batting news, Modoc let Ashlynn Albright and Madelyn Moltzen run wild. Albright went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI, while Moltzen went a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. That triple was Albright's first of the season. Ella Battram was another key player, getting on base in two of her three plate appearances with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.

Modoc's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-9. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. As for Etna, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 17-9.

As of now, neither Modoc nor the Lions have any future games scheduled.
