For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Chargers have posted against the Rams since May 1, 2018.
The team relied heavily on Kenzie Coble, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March of 2024. Alissa Andrews also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tahoma). Everything went their way against Kentwood on Thursday as Tahoma made off with a 20-2 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
