Casa Grande waltzed into their contest on Friday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. They came out on top against the Vintage Crushers by a score of 9-4. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 5-2 back in April.
Lila Partridge spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on six hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Veronica Nunez-Miller, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March. Lauren Ketchu was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
Casa Grande was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .417. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .417 or higher in five consecutive games.
Casa Grande pushed their record up to 17-5-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.2 runs over those games. As for Vintage, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-6.
Coincidentally, Casa Grande and Vintage will both be playing Napa the next time they take the field. The Crushers will head out to face the Grizzlies at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, while the Gauchos will host them at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
