Lexington had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Wednesday. Everything went their way against Hardin County as they made off with a 14-2 victory. The result was nothing new for Lexington, who have now won 12 contests by eight runs or more so far this season.

Ashlynn Utley looked comfortable as she tossed four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits.

On the hitting side, Lexington got a massive performance out of Carly Williams, who scored three runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3. Those three stolen bases gave Williams a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Kk Simko, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.

Lexington was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .500. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive games.

Lexington's win was their ninth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 24-9-2. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. As for Hardin County, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-7.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Lexington will host Westview at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Hardin County, they will welcome Jackson North Side at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Indians have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 14.75 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
