They never let the Morrow Mustangs onto the board and left with a 17-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Vikings, who have now won eight matches by nine runs or more so far this season.
Journey Jackson and Ella Oswalt did most of the damage at the plate: Jackson scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-1, while Oswalt went 1-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and a double. The team also got some help courtesy of Harmony Jackson, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-1.
