The home team had come away the winner the last four times Zion Christian Academy and Loretto had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. Zion Christian Academy was the clear victor by a 12-4 margin over Loretto on Monday. Considering the Eagles have won three matches by more than seven runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Marleigh McWilliams made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off seven hits. McWilliams was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. That triple was her first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Bella Waller, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. Charlee Cheek was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two runs and one triple.
Zion Christian Academy kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
