Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sanger). They blew past the Gainesville Leopards 17-1 on Friday. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by six runs or more this season.

Leala Kloewer was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February.

In other batting news, Dalilah Millan was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in February of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Tarryn Liechty, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two triples, three runs, and two RBI.

Sanger was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .684. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.

Sanger is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-5-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.1 runs over those games. Gainesville has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-13 record this season.

Sanger didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, an 8-2 win against Bonham on the 31st. As for Gainesville, they will head out to face off against Celina at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Celina has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.56 runs per game on average), something Gainesville will no doubt try to take advantage of.
