While Mount Si put up plenty of runs on Monday, the same can't be said for Hazen. The Wildcats were the clear victors by a 26-0 margin over the Highlanders. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by eight runs or more this season.

Paige Yost and Clara Connor were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Yost tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Connor kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over four innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in strikeouts (five). At bat, Yost went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, while Connor got on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ally Hetzel, who fired off two home runs, ten RBI, and four runs while going 5-for-5. Those ten RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Anna Braukus, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles.

Mount Si lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hazen didn't launched any home runs.

Mount Si is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 12 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.2 runs over those games. As for Hazen, they dropped their record down to 2-14 with the loss, which was their seventh straight at home.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Mount Si will welcome Moses Lake at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Mavericks' pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so the Wildcats' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Hazen, they will be playing at home against Bellevue at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Highlanders are facing the Wolverines at the right time seeing as the Wolverines are stuck on a 16-game losing streak.
