Advanced Math & Science Academy came tearing into Friday's matchup with eight straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They beat the Oxford Pirates by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 13-1. That's more bragging rights for the Eagles, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with three doubles, one run, and one RBI. Those three doubles gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Guilamina Yost, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Grace Galvin also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Advanced Math & Science Academy was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .500. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .346 or higher in nine consecutive games.
