Blue Mountain barely beat Hamburg the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Eagles were the clear victors by a 13-5 margin over the Hawks on Friday. Considering the Eagles have won 13 games by more than seven runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Emily Leonard spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and three unearned) runs on three hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Emmerson Frie, who went 3-for-5 with one home run, seven RBI, and two runs. Those seven RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Anna Borden, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and one double.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Blue Mountain kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They are a perfect 11-0 when they post 11 or more hits.
The win made it two in a row for Blue Mountain and bumps their season record up to 13-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.5 runs over those games. As for Hamburg, their defeat ended a five-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 16-4.
