Lexington Catholic had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Paul Laurence Dunbar on Wednesday. The Knights' pitcher stepped up to hand the Bulldogs a 10-0 shutout. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Knights considering their two-run performance the contest before.
Abby Hammond was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Lauren Kelley and Sydney Ford did most of the damage at the plate: Kelley went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run, while Ford went 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one double. Katie Prisinzano was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI.
