Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Saugus). They were the clear victors by a 20-1 margin over the Hart Hawks on Thursday. The Centurions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matches by six runs or more this season.
Riley Nelson looked comfortable as she struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Amelia Johnson, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Those six RBI gave her a new career-high. Avery Salazar was another key player, going 3-for-4 with four runs, three RBI, and two doubles.
Saugus always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .548. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hart only posted an OBP of .318.
Saugus has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 16 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-4 record this season.
