While Horizon Christian didn't have the best season last year (they finished 2-6), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Liberty Christian Lions on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for Horizon Christian, who have now won seven matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Lucy Long made a splash while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 12 over six innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 4-for-5 with two runs and one RBI.
In other batting news, Abby Brown was incredible, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, one triple, and one run. Cayden Marshall was another key player, going 1-for-4 with three runs and one RBI.
Horizon Christian pushed their record up to 8-0 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 19.7 runs over those games. As for Liberty Christian, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6.
Coming up, Horizon Christian will welcome Indianapolis Shortridge at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Blue Devils have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 20.5 runs per game on average), something Horizon Christian will no doubt try to take advantage of. Liberty Christian has already played their next game (against Union City), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
