Darien had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Staples on Monday. The Blue Wave blew past the Wreckers 10-3. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Blue Wave considering their one-run performance the matchup before.
Vivian Knott was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out nine over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run and three RBI.
