Community waltzed into their match on Tuesday with two straight wins... but they left with three. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Waterloo Cougars a 13-0 shutout. Considering the Vikings/Viqueens have won ten contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Taylar Wessner made a big impact no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over four innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in March of 2024. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-2.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Mattie Maxey, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2. Haylee Webb was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple, one run, and one double.

Community always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .640. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Waterloo only posted an OBP of .250.

Community's win was their 11th straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-2-2. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Waterloo, their defeat ended a six-game streak of away wins and brought them to 15-5.

Coming up, Community will take on Wicksburg in a tournament on Wednesday. Wicksburg will roll in looking for their 21st straight win, something Community surely won't give up without a fight. As for Waterloo, they will venture away from home to square off against Athens Bible at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Waterloo 3.6, Athens Bible 3.7) so any runs scored will be well earned.
