Kittitas dropped down to 6-4 on Saturday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins. They lost 11-3 to the Toledo Riverhawks. The Coyotes were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Riverhawks apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2025.

As for Toledo, the win was the fourth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 8-1. Considering they have won six matchups by more than seven runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

For Toledo's part, Peyton Holter was a major factor no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over six innings pitched. Holter has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

In other batting news, Taysia Miller was excellent, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That stolen base was her first of the season. Audrey Cooper was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double.

Looking ahead, Kittitas will challenge Cashmere at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Toledo, they will square off against Rainier at 3:00 p.m. on the 13th. The Mountaineers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed eight runs per game on average), something the Riverhawks will no doubt try to take advantage of.
