Timberline has gone 9-1 against North Thurston recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Blazers are taking a road trip to face off against the Rams at 4:00 p.m. Timberline is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 13.6 runs per game this season.
Timberline was handed a heart-breaking two-run loss in their last game, but they sure didn't let that happen against Capital on Friday. The Blazers put the hurt on the Cougars with a sharp 21-3 victory. The result was nothing new for the Blazers, who have now won nine matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
Madelyn Gilmore was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with three runs, three RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Kayleese Dorfner was a standout: she went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Brookelyn Read was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and one double.
Timberline always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .632. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Capital only posted an OBP of .286.
Meanwhile, North Thurston scored first but ultimately less than Peninsula in their contest on Friday. They lost 13-3 to the Seahawks. The game marked the Rams' lowest-scoring match so far this season.
Sara Halterman was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one double.
Timberline's win was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-3. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.9 runs over those games. As for North Thurston, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-8.
Monday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Timberline hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .402. However, it's not like North Thurston struggles in that department as they've averaged .372. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Timberline skirted past North Thurston 6-5 in their previous meeting last Tuesday. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blazers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
