Keystone had already won nine in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.3 runs) and they went ahead and made it ten on Wednesday. They came out on top against the Firelands Falcons by a score of 8-3. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 7-1 on April 9th.

Brooklyn Modock was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits (and not a single walk). Modock was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with three runs.

In other batting news, Jordan Owca was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and two runs. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last six games she's played. Another player making a difference was Ava Armitage, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Keystone was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .375. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .366 or higher in ten consecutive contests.

Keystone pushed their record up to 11-5 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Firelands, they now have a losing record of 7-8.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Keystone will face off against Oberlin at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Wildcats are facing the Phoenix at the right time seeing as the Phoenix are stuck on a six-game losing streak. As for Firelands, they will challenge Wellington at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Dukes have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.38 runs per game on average), something the Falcons will no doubt try to take advantage of.
