Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Crawford). They were the clear victors by an 18-1 margin over the Bruceville-Eddy Eagles on Tuesday. The Pirates might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matchups by 11 runs or more this season.

Brooke Bubert made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while going 2-for-3.

In other batting news, Crawford let Kodi Rhodes and Presley Parker run wild. Rhodes went 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Parker scored three runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3. Parker also launched a home run, marking her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Kenzley Taylor, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2.

Crawford has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.5 runs over those games. Bruceville-Eddy has been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-11 record this season.

Crawford has already played their next matchup (against Jonesboro), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. We've got a battle between Eagles coming up. Valley Mills' pitching crew has only allowed 1.4 runs per game this season, so Bruceville-Eddy's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
