Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask University Lab). They were the clear victors by a 28-18 margin over the Newman Greenies on Friday. The Cubs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.

Gabby Fontenot was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Fontenot was also big at the plate, scoring four runs and stealing a base while getting on base in six of her seven plate appearances. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in hits (four).

In other batting news, Charlotte Lowe was incredible, going 6-for-7 with one home run, six runs, and seven RBI. Those seven RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was London Harvey, who scored four runs and stole five bases while getting on base in four of her seven plate appearances.

University Lab kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

University Lab has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.5 runs over those games. Newman's defeat dropped their record down to 5-5.

Coming up, University Lab will be playing at home against Central Private at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Newman, they will head out on the road to take on Haynes Academy at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
