Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Deming). Everything went their way against the Chaparral Lobos on Thursday as they made off with a 19-2 victory. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Wildcats considering their one-run performance the contest before.

Kayzleen Apodaca was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

In other batting news, Deming let Kelsie Westbrook and Cristal Enriquez run wild. Westbrook went 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs, while Enriquez went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Those four hits gave Enriquez a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Alejandra Milo, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Deming always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .824. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Deming has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-12 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.3 runs over those games. As for Chaparral, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-15.

Deming will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Lobos: the pair will be back at it again later today.
