Ezekiel Academy was handed a heart-breaking two-run loss in their last match, but they sure didn't let that happen against Crenshaw Christian Academy on Thursday. The Knights put the hurt on the Cougars with a sharp 10-1 win. Considering the Knights have won 14 contests by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Sarah Vick was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one hit in five consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-3. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Ezekiel Academy let Lauryn Darnell and Hannah Jones run wild. Darnell scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3, while Jones went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one double. Another player making a difference was Jillian Newell, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Ezekiel Academy is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-6 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Crenshaw Christian Academy fell to 7-1.
Coming up, Ezekiel Academy will take on Chambers Academy at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Knights 2.9, the Rebels 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. Crenshaw Christian Academy does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
