Masuk came tearing into Tuesday's game with ten straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They blew past the Newtown Nighthawks 8-2. Considering the Panthers have won 14 matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Julia Bacoulis made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out 17 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off one hit. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two hits in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted over her last 11 contests.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Grace Ely, who fired off two home runs while going 3-for-4. Another player making a difference was Alyssa Castillo, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run.
Masuk's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 21-1-1. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Newtown, they moved to 11-6-1 with that defeat, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
As of now, neither Masuk nor the Nighthawks have any future games scheduled.
