SouthWest Edgecombe had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt West Craven on Tuesday. The Cougars blew past the Eagles 13-1. The Cougars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by ten runs or more this season.
Mackenzie Rogers was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out 11 batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Mackenzie Moore, who went 2-for-4 with five RBI, two doubles, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Victoria Pierce, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two RBI and one run.
SouthWest Edgecombe always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .562. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as West Craven only posted an OBP of .273.
The win (which was SouthWest Edgecombe's third in a row) raised their record to 12-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for West Craven, with the defeat, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-11.
SouthWest Edgecombe will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Eagles: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
