Northwest won the last time they faced Einstein and things went their way on Monday too. The Jaguars were the clear victors by a 21-3 margin over the Titans. The Jaguars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 contests by seven runs or more this season.

Nala Johnson made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out six batters over 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and one RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Northwest let Julia Clark and Ali Porter run wild. Clark went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI, while Porter got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most hits Clark has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Lucy McNulty, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI.

Northwest was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .708. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .300 or higher in six consecutive matchups.

Northwest is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That somehow still isn't as good as their 13-4 record this season. The team dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 13 runs. As for Einstein, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 14-9.

As of now, neither Northwest nor the Titans have any future games scheduled.
