Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Milan). They were the clear victor by an 18-3 margin over Tournament Opponent on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won three matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Avery Sayre made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. Sayre was also stellar in the batter's box, going 4-for-4 with four runs, three doubles, and three RBI.
In other batting news, Emerson Pauley was incredible, going 3-for-4 with four runs, two triples, and two RBI. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one triple the last three times she's played. Marian Dabney was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three runs, a triple, and a double.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Milan hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in eight consecutive contests.
