O'Neill had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Pierce on Saturday. The Eagles never let the Bluejays get on the board and left with an 8-0 victory. Considering the Eagles have won 12 games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Rylee Selby made a big impact no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. That stolen base marked the first that she has snagged this season.
Selby wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Grace Drueke, who went 1-for-3 with three runs.
The win (which was O'Neill's fourth in a row) raised their record to 14-10. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Pierce, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-18.
