Memorial had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it five on Tuesday. They came out on top against the Stratford Spartans by a score of 5-2. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Mustangs also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.

Elise Adams spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on six hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Memorial saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Isabella Borrego, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI.

Borrego wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Memorial 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 11 hits in five consecutive matches.

Memorial's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-2. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for Stratford, their loss ended a six-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 10-5.

Coming up, Memorial will head out to face off against Cypress Falls at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Cypress Falls has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.67 runs per game on average), something Memorial will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Stratford, they will square off against Cypress Creek at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Cypress Creek will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something Stratford surely won't give up without a fight.
