Eagle lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Rocky Mountain, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Thursday's match. The Mustangs' pitcher stepped up to hand the Grizzlies a 12-0 shutout on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won seven games by eight runs or more so far this season.

Peyton Bargen made a splash no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run.

In other batting news, Eagle let Alyssa Orchard and Ellie McManigal run wild. Orchard went 2-for-3 with three RBI and two runs, while McManigal went 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. Those three RBI gave Orchard a new career-high. Emry Woods was another key player, going 1-for-4 with three RBI and one double.

Eagle kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post 11 or more hits.

The victory (which was Eagle's fourth in a row) raised their record to 11-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.5 runs over those games. As for Rocky Mountain, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 11-9.
