Softball Recap: Shrine Catholic Extends Road Winning Streak to Four

Shrine Catholic made up a huge gap compared to their last game against Cabrini, but they still couldn't quite topple them. The Knights were the clear victors by a 10-2 margin over the Monarchs on Tuesday. Considering the Knights have won three matchups by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances.

In other batting news, Madeleine Doud was excellent, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3. Natalie Lanfear was another key player, scoring a run and stealing two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
