Lexi Garrison spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered eight earned (and two unearned) runs on ten hits and racked up nine Ks. Those nine strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.
On the hitting side, North County saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Reese Butler, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base and one double. Those hits marked the first that Butler has got this season.
As for Broadneck, the victory (which was their eighth in a row) raised their record to 14-2-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.9 runs over those games.
On Broadneck's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Keira Plumley gave up a run (which was unearned) on five hits. Plumley has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Isabella Herrera was incredible, going 2-for-4 with four RBI, one triple, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Addie Cornelius, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI.
We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. North County is set to take on their familiar foe Crofton on Monday. Meanwhile, Broadneck will challenge rival Arundel at 4:45 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Bruins 2, the Wildcats 2.1) so any runs scored will be well earned.
