Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bishop McNamara). They were the clear victors by a 20-2 margin over the Smith Jewish Day School Lions on Thursday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Koryn Otey was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single hit and allowing only one earned run while striking out eight over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
In other batting news, Jaslyne Ivey was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with four runs, three RBI, and one triple. That triple was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Alyssa Scatliffe, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, two stolen bases, and two runs.
