St. Francis had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3.7 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Monday. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 4-3 W against the Coon Rapids Cardinals. Four seems to be a good number for the Fighting Saints as the team scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Myana Kiser made a big impact no matter where she played. She pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, she posted two strikeouts, the most she's had since back in May of 2024. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one run and one RBI.
Kiser wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Abby Keding, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI. Anna Pauly also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
