Prairie had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Tuesday. They walked away with a 5-1 victory over the Heritage Timberwolves. The Falcons have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Timberwolves, too.
Mackenzie Moore made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one double.
Moore wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Payton Miller, who went 2-for-3 with one triple and two RBI. That triple marked the first that Miller has hit this season.
