Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Linden). Everything went their way against the Flushing Raiders on Monday as they made off with a 14-1 victory. Considering the Eagles have won four games by more than seven runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run and one double. That home run marked the first that she launched this season.
