Falcon waltzed into their match on Tuesday with three straight wins... but they left with four. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Mitchell Marauders a 19-0 shutout. The Falcons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by seven runs or more this season.
Kylie Heffern was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Heffern was also big at the plate, scoring three runs while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
In other batting news, Aliyah Allen was incredible, going 2-for-2 with a home run, three runs, and four RBI. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 2.2 runs per game. Another player making a difference was Sadie Prejean, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Falcon always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .962. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
