LaBrae had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the nine-run drubbing they dealt Hubbard on Thursday. The Vikings blew past the Eagles 11-2. The result was nothing new for the Vikings, who have now won seven contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
Leah DeArmitt was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Riley Rowe, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and one double. She has been hot, having posted at least one home run the last six times she's played. Another player making a difference was Shelby Bragg, who went 1-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
