Norwalk waltzed into their game on Monday with nine straight wins... but they left with ten. They were the clear victors by a 20-1 margin over the Bridgeport Central Hilltoppers. The Bears' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.

Audra Lacomis and Zoey Wilds made a big impact no matter where they played. Throwing, Lacomis struck out six batters over three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Wilds pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. At bat, Lacomis got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one run and one RBI, while Wilds went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. Those three runs gave Wilds a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Maddie O'Brien, who fired off two home runs, six RBI, and three runs while going 3-for-3. Those six RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Alexa Lacomis, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs.

Norwalk always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .784. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Norwalk pushed their record up to 14-4 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Bridgeport Central, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-8-1 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Norwalk is set to take on their familiar foe Darien at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Bears 2.9, the Blue Wave 2) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Bridgeport Central will face off against rival Ludlowe at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
