With a playoff win on the line, Bishop Manogue rose to the challenge on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the McQueen Lancers as they made off with a 9-3 win. Considering the Miners have won 16 contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Sammi Boggs spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on three hits and racked up 13 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Bishop Manogue let Averie Stephan and Kiki Harris run wild. Stephan went 2-for-4 with three RBI and one double, while Harris went 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Lo Faust, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI.

Bishop Manogue has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-9-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for McQueen, they moved to 18-14 with that defeat, which also ended their three-game winning streak.

Bishop Manogue and McQueen are set to take part in some playoff action in their next matches. The Miners will square off against Reed at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Bishop Manogue 2.5, the Raiders 3) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for McQueen, they will challenge Carson at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Lancers are facing the Senators at the right time seeing as the Senators are stuck on a seven-game losing streak.
