Wheaton North waltzed into their matchup on Tuesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They blew past the Batavia Bulldogs 14-5. The Falcons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by seven runs or more this season.

The team relied heavily on Ava Hartnett, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and one double. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March of 2024. Another player making a difference was Hana Stoner, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBI.

Wheaton North hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their strikeout total in three consecutive games.

Wheaton North pushed their record up to 15-2 with the victory, which was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Batavia, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That lines up perfectly with their 4-12 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Wheaton North is set to face off against their familiar foe Glenbard North at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Falcons 3.1, the Panthers 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Batavia will challenge rival Wheaton-Warrenville South at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
