  Elizabeth Palmer was a standout: she went 2-for-4 with one  home run, three  runs,  and four  RBI. The dominant performance gave  her a new career-high in  RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of  Morgann Mcpherson, who  went 3-for-4 with four  RBI, one  triple,  and one  run.
Meanwhile,  winning is always nice, but doing so behind a  season-high score is even better (just ask Union). They blew past Pine View 19-1 on Wednesday. With that  win, the Cougars brought their scoring average up to 7.7  runs per game.
 Haylee Moynier made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she  struck out 12 batters over  five innings while giving up just one earned run off   four  hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't  tossed less than seven  strikeouts any time she's  pitched this season. She was also big at the plate,  going 2-for-3 with one  home run and four  RBI. She also  scored a  run, marking her first of the season.
 In other batting news,  Mollee Rasmussen was  incredible,  going 3-for-4 with three  runs, three  doubles,  and three  RBI. Another player making a difference was  Peyton Barney, who  scored two  runs while going 3-for-3.
 Union  always had someone on base and  finished the game having  posted an OBP of .575. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Pine View only posted  an  OBP of  .333.
 San Juan might still be hurting after the  15-0 defeat they got from Union  in their previous matchup  back in April of 2023. Will San Juan have more luck at home instead of on the road?  Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
