There's no place like home for Morris, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Wednesday. They put the hurt on the Streator Bulldogs with a sharp 9-3 win on Saturday. The Redskins might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by six runs or more this season.

Mylie Hughes spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on five hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Cami Pfeifer was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with four RBI, one triple, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Halie Olson, who got on base in two of her four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Morris' victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-4. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Streator, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-11.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Morris will welcome Rochelle at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Redskins are facing the Hubs at the right time seeing as the Hubs are stuck on an eight-game losing streak. As for Streator, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Peotone at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Blue Devils' pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Bulldogs' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
