Madison Payne tossed a big game, pitching five innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.

La Habra was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .409. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .323 or higher in three consecutive matchups.
La Habra's win was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 22-7. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.9 runs over those games.

Coming up, La Habra will square off against Etiwanda at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Highlanders 2.6, the Eagles 2.4) so any runs scored will be well earned. Upland does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
