Kimberly waltzed into their contest on Friday with 15 straight wins... but they left with 16. They beat the Teton Timberwolves by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 11-1. The Bulldogs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 18 games by six runs or more this season.

Mallory Kelsey spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on five hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 24 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Kimberly let Madi Trappen and Emma Chavez run wild. Trappen went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one double, while Chavez went a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI and one double. Another player making a difference was Hope Ward, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Kimberly kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in 16 consecutive matchups.

Kimberly pushed their record up to 26-2-1 with the victory, which was their 12th straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games.
