Pittsfield came out on top against Seymour on Thursday thanks in part to the team's impressive six-run second inning. The Saukees were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Indians. The Saukees might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 matchups by six runs or more this season.

Lila Simon was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of her three plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

In other batting news, Grace Henry was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, six RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Emma Henry, who went 2-for-3 with one run and one double.

The win was the fourth in a row for Pittsfield, bringing their record up to 17-7-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Seymour, their defeat dropped their record down to 12-11-1.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Pittsfield beat the Indians by a score of 11-1 later that day.
