South Medford came tearing into Monday's game with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Willamette Wolverines with a sharp 10-4 victory. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won nine matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Aliyah Gomez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on three hits and racked up 12 Ks.

At the plate, Aubree Joe was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. That stolen base marked the first that she has snagged this season. Another player making a difference was Hanna Turpin, who went 2-for-4 with four RBI and one run.

South Medford was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .441. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .310 or higher in four consecutive contests.

South Medford pushed their record up to 13-7 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Willamette, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-12 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. South Medford is set to square off against their familiar foe South Eugene at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Willamette will take on rival Grants Pass at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
