Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Colony). They were the clear victors by a 23-3 margin over the Palmer Moose on Monday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Knights with their most commanding win of the season.
Emma Minnick was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she tossed four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off two hits. Minnick was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three runs and three RBI.
In other batting news, Morgan Gallagher and Alexis Congdon did most of the damage at the plate: Gallagher went a perfect 3-for-3 with six RBI, three doubles, and two runs, while Congdon went 4-for-5 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs.
