Skyline had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Juanita on Wednesday. The Spartans blew past the Ravens 9-2. The Spartans have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Ravens, too.
Elin Aageson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on five hits.
At the plate, Skyline got a massive performance out of Shea Staley, who fired off two home runs and four RBI while going 3-for-5. Those two home runs gave Staley a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Elle Sexton, who scored three runs while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances.
Skyline was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .441. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Juanita only posted a batting average of .259.
