Scranton entered their tilt with Magazine on Tuesday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They put the hurt on the Rattlers with a sharp 9-3 victory. The result was nothing new for the Rockets, who have now won six contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Brecken Mainer (2028) spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on five hits and racked up 14 Ks. Those 14 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.

On the hitting side, Scranton got a massive performance out of Mackenzie Croft (2028), who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI Croft (2028) has posted since back in March of 2025. Another player making a difference was Morgan Lensing (2027), who went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Scranton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive games.

Scranton's record now sits at 8-2. As for Magazine, their loss was their first in the conference, dropping their conference record down to 2-1 and their overall record down to 4-3.

Coincidentally, Scranton and Magazine will both be playing County Line the next time they take the field. The Rockets will host the Indians at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, while the Rattlers will head out to face them at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
