They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 win over the Cougars. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Seahawks have posted since June 4, 2024.
Gracie De La Cruz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on seven hits and racked up 12 Ks. Those 12 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.

South Lakes hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least five batters in seven consecutive games.
South Lakes pushed their record up to 8-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.3 runs over those games.

Monday's match might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. South County has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .434. However, it's not like South Lakes struggles in that department as they've averaged .449. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
