Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pearce). They put the hurt on the MacArthur Cardinals with a sharp 28-2 victory on Friday. The win was familiar territory for the Mustangs, who have now won six matches in a row.
Emma Willers was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all five of her plate appearances with one home run, four runs, and five RBI.
In other batting news, Taylor Kesler was a standout: she went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. Macey Morgan also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Pearce always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .865. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Pearce's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-12-1. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for MacArthur, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-13-1.
