Northfield had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 13.8 runs) and they went ahead and made it six on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Rangeview Raiders with a sharp 13-7 win. Considering the Nighthawks have won 16 contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Brielle Montoya spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered seven earned runs on eight hits and racked up 14 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Northfield got a massive performance out of Claire King, who went 3-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. Another player making a difference was Ricki Ramirez, who went 1-for-4 with four RBI, one triple, and one run.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Northfield kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in eight consecutive matchups.

Northfield's victory bumped their record up to 17-5. As for Rangeview, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-17-1 record this season.
