Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dunlap). They blew past the Canton Little Giants 15-2 on Tuesday. Considering the Eagles have won 11 contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Sutton Centoni made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 16 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kaitlyn Atkinson, who fired off two home runs, four runs, and four RBI while going 4-for-4. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April. Rachel Mies was another key player, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI.
Dunlap kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 20 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Dunlap has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 19 of their last 20 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Canton, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 17-9 record this season.

The Panthers will roll in looking for their 12th straight win, something the Eagles surely won't give up without a fight.
