Haley McGuire was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over 6.2 innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits. McGuire was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lynn Welborn, who fired off three home runs, four runs, and two stolen bases while going 3-for-4. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in RBI (five). Another player making a difference was McKenzie Davis, who went 4-for-5 with one home run and three RBI.
Marshall kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. They got five more hits than Westville's also-impressive total of 12.
The victory made it two in a row for Marshall and bumps their season record up to 16-6. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for Heritage, their loss dropped their record down to 0-16.
