Clinton is on an 11-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Napoleon is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Redskins will host the Pirates at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Clinton's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last six matchups.
Clinton is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Onsted a 20-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Redskins have won 11 contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Lola Szczesniak was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out nine over five innings pitched. Those nine strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI.
