Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Yazoo County). They never let the Ridgeland Titans get on the board and left with a 15-0 win on Monday. The game snapped a strange streak: the last five times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.
Lilly Andrews was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). That's the first time she hasn't allowed a single hit since back in April of 2024. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs while going 3-for-3. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Minely Crozier, who fired off three home runs and four RBI while going 3-for-3. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Anna Kiley Leal, who scored three runs while going 2-for-3.
Yazoo County always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ridgeland only posted an OBP of .182.
Yazoo County pushed their record up to 4-3 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.7 runs over those games. As for Ridgeland, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-4.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Yazoo County will welcome Cleveland Central at 6:15 p.m. on Thursday. Cleveland Central will roll in looking for their fifth straight win, something Yazoo County surely won't give up without a fight. As for Ridgeland, they will be playing at home against Neshoba Central at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Ridgeland has given up an average of 14.4 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week.
