Palmer barely beat Houston the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Moose were the clear victors by a 22-9 margin over the Hawks on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Moose, who have now won six matchups by eight runs or more so far this season.

Jane Meals was a standout: she got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Aubrie Stocker, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, three doubles, and two RBI.

Palmer always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .781. Their OBP was a full 0 higher than the also-impressive .559 that Houston posted.

Palmer is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-6 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.4 runs over those games. As for Houston, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-8.

Coming up, Palmer will take on Colony at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Moose's pitchers better be ready for this one: the Knights have averaged an impressive 8.2 runs per game this season. As for Houston, they will challenge Redington at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Huskies have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.06 runs per game on average), something the Hawks will no doubt try to take advantage of.
