Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Central). They were the clear victors by an 18-0 margin over the Westside Seminoles on Wednesday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Chargers also won the last time the pair played back in October of 2024.
Maliyha Simmons made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Simmons was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple.
In other batting news, Central got a massive performance out of Khaliyah Kendricks, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Carys Thompson also deserves some recognition as she scored her first runs of the season.
