Mountain View extended their losing streak to four on Tuesday, dropping them down to 3-11. They lost 14-0 to the Kelso Hilanders. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Hilanders this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 17-0 back in April.
As for Kelso, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-5 record this season. Considering they have won eight contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
For Kelso's part, they gave Hailey Chapin the start and clearly made the right call: she pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Chapin has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one hit in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Skylar Richie was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2025. Kailanah Hagdahl was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run and two RBI.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Mountain View will challenge Evergreen at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Plainsmen have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 23.27 runs per game on average), something the Thunder will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Kelso, they will welcome Montesano at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Bulldogs' pitching crew has only allowed 1.4 runs per game this season, so the Hilanders' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
