Amundsen barely beat Northside the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Vikings put the hurt on the Mustangs with a sharp 15-2 win on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Vikings, who have now won eight games by nine runs or more so far this season.

Allie Reynolds made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). She 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 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Araceli Condie-Espinosa, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double. Those three hits gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Anneliese Otero, who went 2-for-4 with three runs and one double.

Amundsen is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Northside, their loss was their 11th straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-8.

Coming up, Amundsen will venture away from home to take on Lane Tech at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. As for Northside, they will host Von Steuben at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Mustangs are facing the Panthers at the right time seeing as the Panthers are stuck on a four-game losing streak.
