Decatur waltzed into their matchup on Tuesday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. They were the clear victors by a 17-2 margin over the Lawrence Tigers. That's more bragging rights for the Raiders, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Carlee Cady was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one run and one RBI.
In other batting news, Sienna Potter and Gracie Smith did most of the damage at the plate: Potter went a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs, three RBI, and two doubles, while Smith went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Those two doubles gave Potter a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Jenna Bradford, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one double.
Decatur always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .654. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in six consecutive contests.
Decatur's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-5. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.7 runs over those games. As for Lawrence, they are on a seven-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6.
Decatur will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Tigers: the pair will be back at it again later today.
