Kentridge got themselves on the board against Auburn on Wednesday, but Auburn never followed suit. They blew past the Trojans 15-0. The Chargers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matches by six runs or more this season.

Jozi Thompson and Genesis Miller were major factors while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Thompson struck out ten batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Miller tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Thompson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. At bat, Thompson got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and two doubles, while Miller went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and three runs. Those two stolen bases gave Thompson a new career-high.

In other batting news, Rylee Souvannahvanh was incredible, going 2-for-3 with five RBI, two runs, and one double. Those two runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Naomi Benavides, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and three runs.

Kentridge always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .645. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Auburn only posted an OBP of .062.

Kentridge is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games. As for Auburn, they are on a 14-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-14.

Coming up, Kentridge will head out to take on Kennedy Catholic at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Chargers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Lancers have averaged an impressive 7.3 runs per game this season. As for Auburn, they will challenge Tahoma at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Bears will roll in looking for their 14th straight win, something the Trojans surely won't give up without a fight.
