Pace had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Navarre on Tuesday. The Patriots put the hurt on the Raiders with a sharp 15-4 victory. Considering the Patriots have won 12 contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Pace gave Hannah DeMarcus the start and clearly made the right call: she struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits.

On the hitting side, Gracie Ueberroth was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Madison McGowan also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

Pace always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .636. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Navarre only posted an OBP of .440.

The win (which was Pace's third in a row) raised their record to 20-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Navarre, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-9 record this season.

As of now, neither Pace nor Navarre have any future games scheduled.
