Americas came tearing into Friday's contest with seven straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They were the clear victors by an 18-3 margin over the Bel Air Highlanders. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 17-2 back in March.
Giselle Alcala was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out ten batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two doubles. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Odalys Solis was incredible, scoring four runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. Those four runs gave her a new career-high. Suri Flores also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Americas kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in four consecutive matchups.
Americas pushed their record up to 18-13 with the win, which was their sixth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Bel Air, they have been struggling recently as they've lost 12 of their last 13 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-25 record this season.
Coincidentally, Americas and Bel Air will both be playing Horizon the next time they take the field. The Trail Blazers will host the Scorpions at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, while the Highlanders will head out to face them at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
