North Eugene got themselves on the board against Springfield on Friday, but Springfield never followed suit. They blew past the Millers 15-0. Considering the Highlanders have won eight matches by more than seven runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one double. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Ella Anderson was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Kaylani Washburn, who went 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.

North Eugene kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 19 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

North Eugene's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-10. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Springfield, they are on a 13-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-18.
