Emmie Sylvia-Cochran spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than nine strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Marin Aman, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Blaine's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-6. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Anoka, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-9.
