Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask North Posey). They were the clear victors by a 26-0 margin over the Washington Hatchets on Thursday. Considering the Vikings have won 11 games by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
North Posey gave Alyssa Heath the start and clearly made the right call: she pitched 1.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Heath has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, North Posey let Lily Hester and Morgan Lavanchy run wild. Hester got on base in all four of her plate appearances with five stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI, while Lavanchy went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most stolen bases Lavanchy has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Paige Vaughn, who earned one RBI, three runs, and four stolen bases.
North Posey always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .644. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Washington only posted an OBP of .167.
North Posey is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 12 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. As for Washington, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-22.
