Miller City won the last time they faced Ottoville and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Wildcats put the hurt on the Big Green with a sharp 12-2 win. Considering the Wildcats have won six contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Isabelle Rieman spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on three hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Lizzy Ellerbrock and Peyton Michel did most of the damage at the plate: Ellerbrock got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one triple and two RBI, while Michel got on base in three of her five plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. That triple marked the first that Ellerbrock has hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Miriam Ellerbrock, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs and two RBI.

The victory made it two in a row for Miller City and bumps their season record up to 9-7. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Ottoville, their loss was their 14th straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-11.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Miller City will host McComb at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Ottoville, they will look to defend their home field on Wednesday against Upper Scioto Valley at 5:00 p.m.
