Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Brighton). They put the hurt on the Rangeview Raiders with a sharp 18-0 win on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won seven games by six runs or more so far this season.

Laikyn Lanzen made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run and one double. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Riley Doherty, who fired off two home runs, five RBI, and three runs while going 3-for-3. Another player making a difference was Mya Arriaga, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs and two RBI.

Brighton lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in September of 2024.

Brighton is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 10-6 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for Rangeview, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-14-1.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Brighton will square off against Mountain Range at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
