The home team had won the previous four meetings between Medina and Euclid, and Medina kept the tradition alive. The Battling Bees put the hurt on the Panthers with a sharp 14-1 victory on Monday. Considering the Battling Bees have won four matches by more than ten runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Katie Rubino and Bella Case made a splash while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Rubino pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Case pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. At the plate, Rubino went a perfect 2-for-2 with two triples, four RBI, and two runs, while Case scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1. Those two triples gave Rubino a new career-high.

In other batting news, Medina got a big performance out of Mya Harvey, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1. The team also got some help courtesy of Ava Flemming, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-2.

Medina always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .842. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive contests.

Medina's win was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-5. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.2 runs over those games. As for Euclid, they are on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-9.
