Colfax dropped their record down to 4-9 on Thursday, which also ended the team's three-game streak of wins. They came up short against the Wheatland Pirates, falling 16-2. The Falcons were red-hot at the plate heading into the matchup (they scored no less than ten runs in the three games prior), but the Pirates' pitchers proved too tough.

Colfax saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Savannah Hostler, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple marked the first that Hostler has hit this season.

On Wheatland's side, Chasidy Sills made a big impact no matter where she played. She struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and not a single walk). Sills has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-5 with three RBI and one double.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ella Woolery, who fired off two home runs, eight RBI, and one stolen base while going 3-for-4. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games she's played. Another player making a difference was Sophia Logan, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
