Langley had already won seven in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.9 runs) and they went ahead and made it eight on Monday. They blew past the Wakefield Warriors 10-0. Give the Saxons' pitching crew some credit: that's the team's third straight shutout.

Norah Jacques was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out 19 over seven innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in April. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one run and one double.

In other batting news, Megan Connery was excellent, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double. Zoe Matincheck also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.

Langley kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive games.

Langley's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-5-1. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Wakefield, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-7.

Coming up, Langley will be playing in front of their home fans against George C. Marshall at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Saxons' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Statesmen have averaged an impressive 7.1 runs per game this season. Wakefield does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
