Emma Diekemper put up the most strikeouts she's had since back in April of 2024 on Tuesday. She struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up no earned runs off five hits (and not a single walk), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best she's had all season long. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

Looking ahead, Diekemper and Mater Dei will take on Belleville West at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Maroons are coming into the match hot: they've won four straight at home.
