East River had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Colonial on Tuesday. The Falcons never let the Grenadiers get on the board and left with a 15-0 victory. The Falcons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by six runs or more this season.
Talisa Soto was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out six batters over 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one walk in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.
In other batting news, East River let Jenna McCormick and Gaby Angueira run wild. McCormick scored two runs while going 3-for-3, while Angueira scored three runs while going 3-for-3. Those three runs gave Angueira a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Emma Hammond, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
East River was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .667. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
