As for Morse, they are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.4 runs over those games.
On Morse's side, Reylyn Sakamoto was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Sakamoto has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off three triples, four runs, and one stolen base while going 3-for-3. Those four runs gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Camryn Salvador and Abby Okita did most of the damage at the plate: Salvador went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double, while Okita went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Salvador is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Another player making a difference was Ciara Lawrence, who went 1-for-2 with three RBI, one run, and one double.
Looking ahead, Bayfront Charter will venture away from home to take on San Diego Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Sharks are facing the Cavaliers at the right time seeing as the Cavaliers are stuck on a four-game losing streak. As for Morse, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Crawford at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Colts have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.15 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
