Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask North Miami). They put the hurt on the Taylor Titans with a sharp 24-1 victory on Thursday. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight games by six runs or more this season.

Erika Raber made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk). That's the most strikeouts she has posted over her last four matchups. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in five of her six plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. She also hit a double, marking her first of the season.

In other batting news, North Miami got a massive performance out of Jordyn Hackworth, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with four stolen bases and five runs. Those five runs gave Hackworth a new career-high. Porscha Pickett was another key player, going a perfect 4-for-4 with four RBI and two runs.

North Miami always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .729. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

North Miami is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Taylor, they are on a 19-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-14.

North Miami didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, a 13-0 victory against Southwood on the 9th. As for Taylor, they will challenge Delphi Community at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Oracles have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.14 runs per game on average), something the Titans will no doubt try to take advantage of.
