Leopold had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.3 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They blew past the Richland Rebels 13-1. Considering the Wildcats have won 13 games by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Piper Lincoln made a splash no matter where she played. She struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and not a single walk). That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in April. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season.

In other batting news, Malia VanderMierden and Ashtyn Van De Ven did most of the damage at the plate: VanderMierden went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI, while Van De Ven got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs and one stolen base. That's the most runs Van De Ven has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Brenna Beussink, who went 1-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI.

Leopold's win bumped their record up to 18-6-1. As for Richland, with the loss, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 10-4.

As of now, neither Leopold nor the Rebels have any future games scheduled.
