Highland extended their winning streak to three on Wednesday, bumping their season record up to 15-5-2 in the process. They skirted past the Independence Falcons 4-2. That's more bragging rights for the Scots, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Lilliana Garcia spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on seven hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Highland saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Nevaeh Rodriquez, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.
As for Independence, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-8 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games.
On Independence's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Destiny Serna gave up three earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits and racked up 12 Ks.
At the plate, Maylea Lutu made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 3-for-4 with one run and one RBI. Emilia Culbertson also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Independence beat Highland by a score of 5-4 on Friday.
