Evans wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Kloe Barela, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one RBI.

Northfield hit Fairview with a nine-run third inning on Saturday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Knights lost 14-4 to the Nighthawks.

Julia Savage made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Brooklyn Dangott, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one RBI.

Northglenn's record now sits at 8-12. As for Fairview, their record is now 7-14.

Northglenn took their victory against Fairview in their previous meeting back in October of 2024 by a conclusive 16-6 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Norsemen since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
