Anthem Prep came tearing into Friday's contest with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They were the clear victors by an 18-1 margin over the Antelope Rams. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 14 games by six runs or more this season.

Bailey McCabe and Grace Stillwell made a big impact while hitting and pitching. Throwing, McCabe pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Stillwell pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. At bat, McCabe went a perfect 3-for-3 with four runs, one triple, and one stolen base, while Stillwell went 1-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. That's the most runs McCabe has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Madi Hatfield, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Molly McCabe, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, two RBI, and one double.

Anthem Prep hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least five batters in four consecutive matches.

Anthem Prep's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-9. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Antelope, their loss dropped their record down to 10-7.

As of now, neither Anthem Prep nor the Rams have any future games scheduled.
