Largo had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Canterbury on Wednesday. The Packers were the clear victors by a 17-2 margin over the Crusaders. The result was nothing new for the Packers, who have now won nine matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Laila Weber made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing four innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one double.

In other batting news, Largo got a massive performance out of Miranda Rollins, who went 3-for-4 with four runs, two triples, and one double. Another player making a difference was Claire Meloy, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base.

Largo kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 18 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since the start of last season.

The win (which was Largo's third in a row) raised their record to 15-5. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Canterbury, their defeat was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 6-12.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Largo will host Tarpon Springs at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Packers are facing the Spongers at the right time seeing as the Spongers are stuck on an eight-game losing streak. As for Canterbury, they will challenge Dunedin at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Falcons' pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so the Crusaders' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
