Jack Britt barely beat Richmond the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Buccaneers were the clear victors by a 14-8 margin over the Raiders on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Buccaneers, who have now won seven matches by six runs or more so far this season.
The team relied heavily on Ashanthy Marcano, who scored three runs and stole four bases while going 2-for-5. She continues to improve, besting her previous point total in each of the last three games she's played. Emma Sandoval was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-5.
Marcano wasn't the only one making solid contact: Jack Britt kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. The Buccaneers are 8-3 when they post 11 or more hits.
The victory (which was Jack Britt's third in a row) raised their record to 11-7. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.7 runs over those games. As for Richmond, they dropped their record down to 6-12 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Jack Britt will welcome Cape Fear at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Buccaneers will need to watch out since the Colts have now posted at least ten runs in their last four contests. As for Richmond, they will host Lee County at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Yellow Jackets have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.36 runs per game on average), something the Raiders will no doubt try to take advantage of.
