Blackfoot had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.5 runs), and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Century Diamondbacks a 10-0 shutout. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Blackfoot also won the last time the pair played two weeks ago.
Blackfoot got a massive performance out of Marlee Pieper, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, a triple, and a double. Emma McGuire was another key contributor, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
Blackfoot is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches, which provided a nice bump to their 14-8 record this season. As for Century, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-15 record this season.
