16 must be Potts Camp's lucky number: they beat Byers with that score not once but twice on Wednesday. The Cardinals didn't even let the Lions on the board, marking the Cardinals' second-straight 16-0 shutout. The Cardinals might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by seven runs or more this season.

Alyssa Clifton made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base.

In other batting news, Potts Camp let Zoe Clark and Haley Ackerman run wild. Clark got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one home run and two RBI, while Ackerman went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run and two runs. That's the most RBI Clark has posted since back in April of 2025. Another player making a difference was Shelby Hassell, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

The win made it two in a row for Potts Camp and bumps their season record up to 6-3-1. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.0 runs over those games. As for Byers, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-4.
