On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Taylor Isley, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with five RBI, two runs, and two doubles. The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in RBI. Hailey Graves also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
Walkertown always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .636. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Southwest Guilford only posted an OBP of .261.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Glenn). They never let Parkland get on the board and left with a 22-0 win on Tuesday. The victory continues a trend for the Bobcats in their matchups with the Mustangs: they've now won six in a row.
Addyson Irving and Kendall Fraas made a splash no matter where they played. Throwing, Irving pitched 1.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Fraas pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Irving has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season. At bat, Irving scored two runs while going 2-for-4, while Fraas went 3-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs.
In other batting news, Glenn got a massive performance out of Kyleigh Ritter, who scored four runs while going 3-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Kadence Lamonte, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and three runs.
The win keeps them at an undefeated 4-0. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of four runs across that stretch. As for Glenn, the victory got them back to even at 2-2.
Thursday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Walkertown hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .349. However, it's not like Glenn struggles in that department as they've averaged .376. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Walkertown came out on top in a nail-biter against Glenn when the teams last played last Wednesday, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for Walkertown since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
