Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask La Salle). They never let the St. Mary's Academy Belles get on the board and left with a 26-0 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Lancers have won five games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Havana Pagan made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 3-for-6.
