It was a proper cat-fight when Fairfield duked it out with Whiteoak on Friday. The Lions never let the Wildcats get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. Considering the Lions have won nine matchups by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Ally Maynard, who went 2-for-3 with three runs and one stolen base. The team also got some help courtesy of Kelsie Crowder, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI and one run.

Fairfield is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games.
