Robinson had already won eight in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it nine on Saturday. They blew past the Crawford Pirates 15-5. This was payback for the Rockets, who suffered a 6-3 defeat the last time these two teams met.

Raelynn Van Zee made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. What's more, she gave up only zero walks, the fewest she's had since back in April of 2024. She was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs, three runs, and three RBI while going 3-for-4. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, Robinson let Lexi Rosillo and Kaygen Marshall run wild. Rosillo got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs, while Marshall fired off two home runs and five RBI while going 2-for-4. That's the most home runs Marshall has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Addison Williams, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.

Robinson hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in three consecutive contests.

Robinson pushed their record up to 16-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Crawford, their loss dropped their record down to 4-4.

Robinson and Crawford should be looking forward to their upcoming games as both have a sizable advantage in the MaxPreps Texas Rankings. Robinson (ranked 23rd) will meet China Spring (ranked 93rd) at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Robinson's pitching crew has only allowed 2.5 runs per game this season, so Crawford's hitters will have their work cut out for them. Meanwhile, Crawford will square off against Hamilton at 5:00 p.m. on Monday up 666 places (377 vs. 1043). Robinson is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.6 runs per game this season.
