Aspen Swanger spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on eight hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Battle Mountain got a massive performance out of Jazmin Johnson, who went 1-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. Another player making a difference was Thalia Gonzalez, who went 3-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Battle Mountain kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in nine consecutive matchups.

Battle Mountain's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-3. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games.
