Rensselaer Central won against Glenn on Saturday with 11 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Monday. The Bombers beat the Kouts Mustangs & Fillies by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 11-1. The result was nothing new for the Bombers, who have now won nine contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Kali Northcutt was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). Northcutt was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

In other batting news, Kami Davis was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three runs, two RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted over her last nine games. Another player making a difference was Brynn Hannon, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI.

Rensselaer Central was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .458. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Kouts only posted a batting average of .158.

The win was the third in a row for Rensselaer Central, bringing their record up to 14-8. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.7 runs over those games. As for Kouts, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-13.

Rensselaer Central has already played their next match (against North White), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. As for Kouts, they will challenge North Judson-San Pierre at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Bluejays have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.32 runs per game on average), something the Mustangs & Fillies will no doubt try to take advantage of.
