On Monday, Danvers made easy work of Salem and carried off an 18-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Falcons, who have now won six matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Skylar Coakley was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out ten over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-5 with two RBI and one double. Those three hits gave her a new career-high.
