With a playoff win on the line, Eagle Mountain rose to the challenge on Friday. Everything went their way against the Benbrook Bobcats as they made off with a 12-1 win. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 14 games by six runs or more this season.
Ashlyn Eggleton made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 21 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
In other batting news, Olivia Wilson was a standout: she went 1-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. Zoe Hawthorne was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs, one double, and one RBI.
Eagle Mountain hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Benbrook struck out six times.
The victory made it two in a row for Eagle Mountain and bumps their season record up to 21-13-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 2 run in those games. As for Benbrook, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 19-14.
Coming up, Eagle Mountain will take on Brock on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Knights 3.5, the Eagles 4) so any runs scored will be well earned. Benbrook does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
