Owyhee faced Highland in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Friday. The Storm blew past the Rams 10-2. The result was nothing new for the Storm, who have now won 17 matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Grace Brooks and Hailey Bock made a big impact while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Brooks struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Bock didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up a single earned run in five consecutive appearances. At bat, Brooks went 3-for-4 with three RBI and one run, while Bock went 2-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.

In other batting news, McKenna Schab and Caitlyn Geiser did most of the damage at the plate: Schab went a perfect 2-for-2 with one run, one double, and one RBI, while Geiser went a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one double. Mia Mikell also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Owyhee's win was their 22nd straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 26-1. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for Highland, they moved to 19-9 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak.

Owyhee does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Highland, they will face off against Mountain View at 5:15 p.m. on Friday. The Rams' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Mavericks have averaged an impressive 8.4 runs per game this season.
