While First Christian put up plenty of runs on Monday, the same can't be said for Brunswick Christian Academy. The Lions were the clear victors by a 22-0 margin over the Eagles. The Lions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matchups by six runs or more this season.

Victoria Loehr made a splash no matter where she played. She pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, two triples, and two stolen bases. Those four hits gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Corie Wheeler, who went 3-for-4 with four stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Arabella Blake, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.

First Christian kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

The win was the third in a row for First Christian, bringing their record up to 10-4-1. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.3 runs over those games. As for Brunswick Christian Academy, their defeat was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-9.

Coming up, First Christian will host Corinth Christian Academy at 2:00 p.m. on Friday. The Warriors have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.33 runs per game on average), something the Lions will no doubt try to take advantage of. Brunswick Christian Academy does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
