Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Danville). They never let the Peoria Lions get on the board and left with a 21-0 victory on Wednesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Vikings with their most commanding win of the season.
Deana Linares was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over four innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk in eight consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. That stolen base was her first of the season.
In other batting news, Payton Beith was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and two doubles. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Kealee Alyea, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with four runs.
