Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Goodland). They were the clear victors by an 18-10 margin over the Scott Beavers on Tuesday. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 16-1 on Tuesday.
Allison Cure made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out ten batters over seven innings while giving up six earned (and four unearned) runs off 14 hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Goodland let Elly Evert and Hayden Short run wild. Evert went 4-for-5 with three runs, one double, and one RBI, while Short went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Those three runs gave Evert a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Destiny Gonzalez, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.
Goodland always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .558. They are 3-1 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Goodland is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-9 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for Scott, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-10.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Goodland will take on Russell at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Broncos have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.4 runs per game on average), something the Cowboys will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Scott, they will be playing at home against Southwestern Heights at 4:00 p.m. on May 9.
