Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cross). Everything went their way against the Legacy Christian Academy Black Labs on Friday as Cross made off with a 16-1 victory. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Savannah Hollings was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in May of 2024. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 1.5 stolen bases per game.
