Triad won the last time they faced Alton and things went their way on Friday too. The Knights were the clear victors by a 13-1 margin over the Redbirds. The result was nothing new for the Knights, who have now won 11 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

The team relied heavily on Syd Horn, who went 3-for-4 with four runs, two stolen bases, and one double. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April.

Triad always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .625. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Alton only posted an OBP of .211.

The win made it two in a row for Triad and bumps their season record up to 19-10. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 1 runs in those games. As for Alton, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last eight games. That lines up perfectly with their 7-21 record this season.

Triad will take on Highland at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Knights are facing the Bulldogs at the right time seeing as the Bulldogs are stuck on a 17-game losing streak. Alton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
