It was a proper cat-fight when Millington challenged Ubly on Monday. The Cardinals blew past the Bearcats 14-2. The result was nothing new for the Cardinals, who have now won five games by seven runs or more so far this season.
Ashlyn Bentoski was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one double. That triple was her first of the season.

Matusik went 2-for-5 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Damm got on base in four of her five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That home run marked the first that Matusik has launched this season. Another player making a difference was Karlie Sherman, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run.
