Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Summit). Everything went their way against the Centennial Cougars on Tuesday as Summit made off with a 14-2 win. Considering the Spartans have won four matches by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Addison Johnson tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.

At the plate, Tarek Scherr was a standout: she scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-3. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Anne Marie Richards, who went 3-for-4 with one home run and three RBI.

Summit is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 6-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. Centennial dropped their record down to 2-6 with the loss, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Summit will take on Independence at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Summit's pitchers better be ready for this one: Independence has averaged an impressive 6.8 runs per game this season. As for Centennial, they will face off against Brentwood at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Brentwood will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something Centennial surely won't give up without a fight.
