Biglerville had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Fairfield on Tuesday. The Canners were the clear victors by a 15-3 margin over the Knights. The Canners might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by seven runs or more this season.

Sydney McCleaf spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up 13 Ks. Those 13 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.

Biglerville pushed their record up to 11-4 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games.
