Deanna Richardson was a standout: she got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. Those three stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Nikki Nguyen also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
Antelope always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .677. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Meanwhile, West Park entered their tilt with McClatchy on Thursday with four consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with five. They had just enough and edged out the Lions 4-2.
Emma Juarez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Jolene White was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Kayla Bowles, who went 2-for-3 with one triple and one RBI.
West Park pushed their record up to 9-5 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Antelope, their record now sits at 6-7.
Tuesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Antelope hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .330. However, it's not like West Park struggles in that department as they've averaged .368. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Antelope couldn't quite finish off West Park in their previous matchup on April 3rd and fell 7-5. Can the Titans avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
