Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bangor). They blew past the Comstock Colts 21-1 on Monday. The victory continues a trend for the Vikings in their matchups with the Colts: they've now won seven in a row.

Isabelle Horvath was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring four runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. What's more, she posted two doubles, the most she's had since back in March of 2024.

In other batting news, Bangor let Lily Sugden and Kylie Withey run wild. Sugden scored two runs while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances, while Withey scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. That's the most runs Withey has posted since back in May of 2024. Ariana Pearce was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances.

Bangor was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .412. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .303 or higher every time they've taken the field this season.

Bangor pushed their record up to 5-1 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Comstock, they are on a 19-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-4.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Bangor will head out to square off against Marcellus at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Wildcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.5 runs per game on average), something the Vikings will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Comstock, they will face off against Bloomingdale at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
