Maple Mountain had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7 runs) and they went ahead and made it seven on Tuesday. They blew past the Wasatch Wasps 15-2. The Golden Eagles have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Wasps, too.

Gracie Jensen was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out six batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and one stolen base. That stolen base marked the first that she snagged this season.

In other batting news, Kyla Donegan was a standout: she scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. She also hit a triple, marking her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Bella Ekenstam, who scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances.

Maple Mountain was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .419. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .419 or higher in four consecutive games.

Maple Mountain's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-1. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Wasatch, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-6.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Maple Mountain will take on Spanish Fork at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. One thing working in Maple Mountain's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last four matchups. As for Wasatch, they will challenge Salem Hills at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday.
