The Falcons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten games by six runs or more this season.

Another player making a difference was Delaney Mason, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Oakcrest kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in three consecutive matchups.
