Horizon barely beat Westminster the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Hawks blew past the Wolves 12-6 on Saturday. The Hawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten contests by six runs or more this season.

Kaiya Barela spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on six hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 12 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Larrissa Arvizo was incredible, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one RBI. Regan Glaza was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run.

Horizon kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in nine consecutive matchups.

Horizon is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. As for Westminster, they now have a losing record of 9-10.

Looking ahead, Horizon is taking a road trip to face off against Erie at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Westminster, they will welcome Prairie View at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Thunderhawks have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.42 runs per game on average), something the Wolves will no doubt try to take advantage of.
