Clark is on a roll when it comes to triples, as she's now hit at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Abigail Huerta was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
The victory (which was Palatka's ninth in a row) raised their record to 16-10. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for North Marion, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-19.
