Canton entered their tilt with Morton on Tuesday with five consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with six. They walked away with a 5-1 victory over the Potters. While the Little Giants didn't have the best season last year (they finished 7-18), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Tori Birch spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time she's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Makaylynne Correa, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI. That triple was her first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Allison Wheeler, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3.
Canton pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Morton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-6.

The Tigers' pitching crew has only allowed 2.6 runs per game this season, so the Little Giants' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
