After low-scoring totals in their previous five contest, Whitney brought some dynamite into their most recent matchup. They never let the St. Francis Troubadours get on the board and left with an 11-0 win on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won eight games by six runs or more so far this season.

Taylor Cordell looked comfortable as she tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Lulu Im, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Bri Seffens, who went 1-for-2 with three RBI, one run, and one double.

Whitney hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least four batters in nine consecutive matchups.

With the victory, Whitney broke their five-game losing streak and moved their record to 16-8. As for St. Francis, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 9-12.

Looking ahead, Whitney will challenge Davis Sr. at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The last three games the Blue Devils have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. As for St. Francis, they will welcome Christian Brothers at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Troubadours' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Falcons have averaged an impressive 7.3 runs per game this season.
