Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Elgin). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Crestline Bulldogs a 16-0 shutout on Friday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Comets with their most commanding win of the season.
Madison Hill was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kaylee Crist, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and one triple. Those three hits gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Mallorie Hempy, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Elgin hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Crestline struck out eight times.
Elgin has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-11 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games. As for Crestline, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-10.
Coming up, Elgin will welcome Ridgedale at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Comets' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Rockets have averaged an impressive 7.7 runs per game this season. As for Crestline, they will head out on the road to square off against North Baltimore at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.
