The Mustangs struck first, but the Kangs took the lead on a 2-run RBI single by Trevor Dunlap.

Redmond’s big fifth was highlighted by tiring LW starter Bob Cruikshank giving up an extra-base RBI hit to Dylan Davis, who went 2-for-4 with a double and triple, and scored twice.

Speedy second baseman Josh Bircher also pitched in offensively with a 2-for-3 night, including a triple, and scored three times.

Davis was dominating on the mound, going five innings and giving up three runs on three hits, notching 12 of his 15 recorded outs via the strikeout.

With the win, the Mustangs improved to a division-leading 9-2 and 12-3 overall.

On offense, Redmond’s Ashley Mitchell continued to swing a hot bat against Falcons’ starter Madi Schreyer, who improved to 3-0 on the season, with a 2-for-3 night.

Over her last four games, Mitchell has four hits in her last six plate appearances.

Christine Ho, Stephanie Gero, Joanna French, Riley Flynn and Lindsay Cristobal each notched hits off of Schreyer, with Cristobal extending her hitting streak to four games.
