Morrison waltzed into their matchup on Wednesday with 11 straight wins... but they left with 12. They blew past the Amboy Clippers 12-2. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 contests by six runs or more this season.

Ava Duncan was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with three RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Kiyah Wolber was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April. Allie Anderson was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and one double.

Morrison kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in seven consecutive games.

Morrison's win was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-4. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.1 runs over those games. As for Amboy, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-17-1.

Coming up, Morrison will face off against Oregon at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. As for Amboy, they will venture away from home to face off against Somonauk at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
