Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Princeton). They were the clear victor by an 18-3 margin over the Maysville Wolverines on Monday. Considering the Tigers have won ten matches by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Kelsey Goodin looked comfortable as she struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits.
On the hitting side, Riley Clark was incredible, scoring four runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times she's played. Another player making a difference was Audrey Kelly, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.
