Black River dropped their record down to 10-6 on Monday, which also ended the team's six-game streak of wins. They fell just short of the Columbia Raiders by a score of 6-5. The Pirates were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Raiders earlier this season, when they won 10-3.

Jenna Dieter made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 1-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double.

As for Columbia, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games.

On Columbia's side, Alina Jones spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits.

At the plate, Columbia's victory was truly a team effort as seven different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Grace Anderson, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run. Sadie Schulke was another, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Black River will square off against rival Keystone at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams are headed into the matchup with plenty of momentum (the Pirates have won four straight at home, while the Wildcats won three straight on the road), something that'll have to change. Meanwhile, Columbia is set to face off against their familiar foe Wellington at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
