Milano entered their tilt with Iola on Monday with four consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with five. They put the hurt on the Bulldogs with a sharp 11-2 win. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by seven runs or more this season.

Karley Hairston was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in February. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring three runs while going 1-for-4.

In other batting news, Milano let Malina Gordon and Rayelee Keen run wild. Gordon went 4-for-5 with four RBI and two doubles, while Keen went 1-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Those two doubles gave Gordon a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Mallory Miller, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.

Milano was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .382. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive contests.

Milano pushed their record up to 12-7 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.7 runs over those games. As for Iola, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-6 record this season.

Milano will host Burton at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Iola, they will square off against Snook at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
