The West Hempstead Rams will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Hewlett Bulldogs at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
West Hempstead managed to slip by Hewlett the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Rams lost 16-4 to the Bulldogs back in April.
For Hewlett's part, Coralia Savin was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. With that strong performance, Savin is now averaging an impressive 5.1 strikeouts per game. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run.
In other batting news, Hewlett got a massive performance out of Liliana Simon, who went 3-for-5 with five stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. Simon is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged two or more in each of the last seven games she's played. Another player making a difference was Riley Lahey, who went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
West Hempstead might still be hurting after the 16-4 loss they got from Hewlett in their previous matchup back in April. Will the Rams have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
