Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Castro Valley). They put the hurt on the Arroyo Dons with a sharp 16-3 victory on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Alanys Robertson made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs, five runs, and three RBI while going 3-for-4. Those five runs gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Zaylee Gutierrez was a standout: she went 4-for-5 with four RBI, two doubles, and one run. Those doubles were her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Kailey Armstrong, who went 2-for-4 with four RBI, two doubles, and one run.
Castro Valley was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .475. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Castro Valley has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. As for Arroyo, they suffered their first home loss, dropping their record down to 5-5.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Castro Valley will take on Berkeley at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Trojans' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Yellowjackets have averaged an impressive 9.3 runs per game this season. As for Arroyo, they will square off against El Cerrito at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Gauchos will roll in looking for their 12th straight win, something the Dons surely won't give up without a fight.
