At the plate, the team relied heavily on Gentry Kirkland, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Sydni Gaylor, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one double.
Graford came out on top against De Leon on Thursday thanks in part to the team's impressive eight-run third inning. The Jack Rabbits never let the Bearcats get on the board and left with a 15-0 win. The Jack Rabbits might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by seven runs or more this season.
Faith Perry was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, four runs, and two RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last 12 games she's played dating back to last season. Savahannah Martin was another key player, going 1-for-3 with three stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI.
Lipan's record is now 6-1. As for Graford, their record now sits at 7-5.
Monday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Lipan hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .535. However, it's not like Graford struggles in that department as they've averaged .327. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Lipan beat Graford 5-1 when the teams last played last Tuesday. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Indians since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
