It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Munster ultimately got the result they hoped for on Thursday. They never let the Highland Trojans get on the board and left with an 8-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won six matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Not much got past Ally Compton, who gave up just a hit and racked up 12 Ks to keep Highland off the board. Compton has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Miah Almaguer, who went 2-for-4 with one home run and two runs. That home run was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Cece Mason, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run.
Munster hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Highland struck out 13 times.
