There's no place like home for Alva, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Thursday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Millwood Falcons a 16-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Goldbugs have won ten matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Trinity Stevens was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Stevens was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with three runs.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Asia Blackledge, who went 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Myka Louthan, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Alva always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .696. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Alva is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games. As for Millwood, their loss dropped their record down to 0-3.
Alva will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Falcons: the pair will be back at it again later today.
