Kennett had already won 13 in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12.2 runs) and they went ahead and made it 14 on Friday. They put the hurt on the Thayer Bobcats with a sharp 10-0 victory. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 matches by eight runs or more this season.
Avery Payne was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out eight over six innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lynnley Patterson, who fired off two home runs, three RBI, and one stolen base while going 3-for-4. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last six games she's played. Handley McAtee was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.
Kennett was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .433. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Thayer only posted a batting average of .182.
Kennett's win was their ninth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-2. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Thayer, they moved to 8-2 with that loss, which also ended their five-game winning streak.
Coincidentally, Kennett and Thayer will both be playing Clearwater the next time they take the field. The Bobcats will head out to face the Fightin' Tigers at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, while the Indians will play them later in the day, at 6:00 p.m.
