Foothill lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Livermore, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Tuesday's contest. The Falcons were the clear victors by a 16-6 margin over the Cowboys on Tuesday. Considering the Falcons have won six matches by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Sophia Burdick and Ellie Novitske did most of the damage at the plate: Burdick went a perfect 5-for-5 with three runs, three doubles, and one stolen base, while Novitske got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those three runs gave Burdick a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Kaycie Burdick, who went 3-for-4 with three runs and two RBI.

Foothill always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .658. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Livermore only posted an OBP of .481.

Foothill's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-5-1. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.2 runs over those games. As for Livermore, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-8.
