After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Loyd Star, Brookhaven was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. They put the hurt on the Columbia Wildcats with a sharp 13-5 win. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won seven games by seven runs or more so far this season.
Addisyn Tucker was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Tucker was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.
In other batting news, Brookhaven let Mia Lee and Jayonna Pendleton run wild. Lee scored two runs while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances, while Pendleton scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-5. Another player making a difference was Journi Hunt, who scored a run while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances.
Brookhaven kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They are a perfect 6-0 when they post 11 or more hits.
Brookhaven is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. Columbia has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-7 record this season.
Brookhaven will be taking part in a tournament against Vicksburg at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. As for Columbia, they will face off against East Marion at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Columbia has given up an average of 8.8 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week.
