Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Globe). They put the hurt on the Apache Junction Prospectors with a sharp 20-1 win on Thursday. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by nine runs or more this season.
Jade Verdugo made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she tossed four innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. Verdugo was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Those three stolen bases gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Globe got a massive performance out of Zoey Tulk, who scored two runs while going 3-for-4. The dominant performance also gave Tulk a new career-high in doubles (two). Another player making a difference was Antonella Franco, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Globe always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .649. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Globe pushed their record up to 7-8 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Apache Junction, they are on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-9.
