Devyn Rodriguez was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out 16 batters over six innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off only two hits. Those 16 strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Stephanie Flores, who went 4-for-5 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most hits she has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Lyric Batie, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-4.
Parkland kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Horizon only managed one hit.
Parkland pushed their record up to 16-12 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Horizon, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost 11 of their last 14 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-17 record this season.
