Grand County waltzed into their game on Friday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They blew past the North Summit Braves 14-3. Considering the Red Devils have won 11 matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
CHLOE Byrd was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over 3.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Delaie Davis, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Those three runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Danica Hirschfeld, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Grand County always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .647. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .647 or higher in four consecutive contests.
Grand County's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-7. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for North Summit, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-8.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games.
