Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pipestone). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Blue Earth Buccaneers a 20-0 shutout on Thursday. The Arrows have beaten the Buccaneers the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Buccaneers has come to flipping the script.
Kaysa Douty was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out eight over four innings pitched. Douty was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Brilee Rieck, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That stolen base marked the first that she has snagged this season. Amyra Mahik was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs and one RBI.
Pipestone always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .700. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Pipestone's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-6. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.0 runs over those games. As for Blue Earth, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 0-11-1.
