Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Elmira). They blew past the Waverly Wolverines 17-2 on Saturday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

Marley Devlin made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with three RBI, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ryleigh Ogden, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four runs, two stolen bases, and two doubles. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Madelynn Cavalier, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three RBI and two runs.

Elmira always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .683. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

The victory was the third in a row for Elmira, bringing their record up to 4-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games.
