Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sonoraville). They never let the Josey Eagles onto the board and left with a 20-0 win on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Phoenix, who have now won 13 matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Lily Holton looked comfortable as she struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk).
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Erin Garland, who went 1-for-1 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple. Another player making a difference was Julia Patterson, who scored three runs while going 1-for-1.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Sonoraville always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .852. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Sonoraville has been performing well recently as they've won 17 of their last 21 games, which provided a nice bump to their 23-8 record this season. As for Josey, with the defeat, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-5.
Sonoraville will have a chance to go back-to-back against Josey: the pair will be back at it again later today.
