She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 4-for-5 with seven RBI, four runs, and two doubles. Those four hits gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Ava Homier was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with four stolen bases, four runs, and three RBI. Those four runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Kenzie Searfoss, who got on base in four of her six plate appearances with five runs and two stolen bases.

The win (which was Continental's fourth in a row) raised their record to 8-6.

As for Kalida, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-12 record this season.
