After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Lone Star, Creekview was happy to have turned things around on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Turner Lions with a sharp 10-3 victory. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matches by seven runs or more this season.

Lauren Hernandez and Kelis Lee made a big impact no matter where they played. On the mound, Hernandez pitched four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. Meanwhile, Lee pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. At the plate, Hernandez went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double, while Lee scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4. Those two stolen bases gave Lee a new career-high.

In other batting news, Creekview got a massive performance out of MacKenzie Martin, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4. That's the most hits Martin has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Kaelani Rogers, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4.

Creekview kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 4.6 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 10.

Creekview's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 16-13. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Turner, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-9 record this season.
