Russellville had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.3 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Wednesday. They put the hurt on the Eugene Eagles with a sharp 12-2 victory. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.

K'Lea Basnett made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out six batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, firing off two home runs and four RBI while going 2-for-3. That's the most home runs she has posted over her last 12 games.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Karsyn Duncan, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Another player making a difference was Audra Whittle, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.

Russellville's win bumped their record up to 17-8. As for Eugene, their defeat was their fifth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 4-8.

Looking ahead, Russellville will challenge Linn at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Wildcats' pitching crew has only allowed 2.7 runs per game this season, so the Indians' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Eugene does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
