Eastmont had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Eisenhower on Friday. The Wildcats were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Cadets. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won eight games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Elizabeth Heinz made a splash no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.

In other batting news, Eastmont got a massive performance out of Ellie Holben, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Brittany Howe was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI.

Eastmont lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in May of 2024.

Eastmont has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Eisenhower, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost nine of their last 12 matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-11 record this season.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Eastmont beat Eisenhower by a score of 11-4 later that day.
