Considering the Eagles have won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Emma Hiss was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases she has posted over her last 12 games.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Madelyn Brady, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. Those three runs gave her a new career-high. Olive Hyde also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
Columbia City always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .583. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as New Haven only posted an OBP of .211.
