Payson barely beat Union the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Lions blew past the Cougars 8-0 on Saturday. Considering the Lions have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out eight over six innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high.
