Mount View barely beat Van the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Golden Knights put the hurt on the Bulldogs with a sharp 11-3 victory on Monday. Considering the Golden Knights have won 12 contests by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Phoebe Dudgeon was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out 13 over six innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two triples, two stolen bases, and three RBI.
In other batting news, Shiann Carter and Ry'Anna Hood did most of the damage at the plate: Carter went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one run, while Hood went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases Hood has posted since April 5th. Another player making a difference was Malayah Barnes, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.
Mount View was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .393. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Van only posted a batting average of .120.
Mount View has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.9 runs over those games. As for Van, they dropped their record down to 3-17 with the defeat, which was their third straight on the road.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Mount View will host Wyoming East at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Van, they will be playing at home against Mingo Central at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Miners have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.91 runs per game on average), something the Bulldogs will no doubt try to take advantage of.
