Catholic Central put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their undefeated season alive. They were the clear victors by a 16-1 margin over the Christian Eagles. That's the third time they've managed to beat them this season, with their most recent win being a 23-8 victory back in April.
A Owen was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBI.
In other batting news, G Cook and M Cummings did most of the damage at the plate: Cook went 2-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs, while Cummings went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Those three RBI gave Cummings a new career-high. R Lyons was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double.
