Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Geneva walked away with it. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 win over the Foundation Academy Lions on Thursday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Knights have posted since March 13th.

Dallas Esperas made a splash no matter where she played. She struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off nine hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of her four plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

Esperas wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Ella Ingram, who went 3-for-4 with one RBI.

Geneva is on a roll lately: they've won 16 of their last 17 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-3 record this season. The team dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 11.3 runs. As for Foundation Academy, with the loss, they broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 17-8.

As of now, neither Geneva nor the Lions have any future games scheduled.
