St. Helens entered their tilt with Seaside on Thursday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. They put the hurt on the Seagulls with a sharp 19-3 win. Considering the Lions have won 12 games by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Eme Curaming made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

In other batting news, Madelyn Hancock was a standout: she fired off two home runs, four runs, and two stolen bases while going 3-for-3. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April. Halli Heys also deserves some recognition as she launched her first home run of the season.

St. Helens' victory was their seventh straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 20-2. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.3 runs over those games. As for Seaside, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-19.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. St. Helens is set to challenge their familiar foe Astoria at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Lions 2.2, the Fishermen 3.1) so any runs scored will be well earned.
