Enfield had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 17-run drubbing they dealt East Hartford on Wednesday. The Eagles put the hurt on the Hornets with a sharp 18-1 win. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matchups by six runs or more this season.

Cassidy Wallner made a splash no matter where she played. She struck out 11 batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in April. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with two runs and two RBI.

In other batting news, Enfield let Claire Bouffard and Emily Lyver run wild. Bouffard went 3-for-5 with one home run, eight RBI, and three runs, while Lyver got on base in all five of her plate appearances with three stolen bases, four runs, and one triple. Those four runs gave Lyver a new career-high. Maddy Page also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Enfield always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as East Hartford only posted an OBP of .333.

The victory was the third in a row for Enfield, bringing their record up to 15-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for East Hartford, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last nine contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-11 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Enfield will square off against rival Glastonbury at 3:45 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, East Hartford is set to challenge their familiar foe Manchester at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
