Kankakee had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 17-run drubbing they dealt Thornridge on Monday. The Kays never let the Falcons get on the board and left with a 17-0 victory. Considering the Kays have won nine matchups by more than nine runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Adleigh Cunningham made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two runs. Those two hits gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Kylie Glogowski was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with two triples, three runs, and two RBI. Those two triples gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Lillian Landis, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI.

Kankakee was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .654. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.

Kankakee is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a massive bump to their 10-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.2 runs over those games. As for Thornridge, they are on a 27-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-8.

Kankakee will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Falcons: the pair will be back at it again later today.
