Last Thursday, Union was able to grind out a solid victory over St. Francis Borgia, taking the game 6-1. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Wildcats.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Silex). Everything went their way against Wellsville-Middletown on Tuesday as Silex made off with a 17-0 win. The victory was familiar territory for the Owls who have now won three matches in a row.
Morgan Kuntz was a standout: she went 2-for-2 with a home run, four RBI, and two runs.

Another player making a difference was Kherington Morris, who went 3-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Silex always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .697. The last time their OBP was this high was since the start of last season.
