Blair strolled into their game on Saturday with a perfect record and they left with the same. They put the hurt on the Hastings Tigers with a sharp 17-3 victory. That 14 run margin sets a new team best for the Bears this season.

The team relied heavily on Laynie Brown, who went a perfect 5-for-5 while posting 4 runs, 2 doubles, and 1 triple. The four runs were her most since the 22nd, when she went for 4 vs. Hastings. Jennessy Knapp was another key player, firing off 2 HR and 4 RBI while going 2-for-4.

Blair swung out of their shoes and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they have managed all season.

Blair has now won five of their last six games on the road. That somehow still isn't as good as their 5-0 record this season. Those road wins were due in large part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those six games. As for Hastings, their defeat was their first of the season and makes their record 3-1.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Blair will take on their in-conference opponent Skutt Catholic at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. Meanwhile, Hastings is set to face off against their familiar foe Gretna East at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
