Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Shea). Their pitcher stepped up to hand Paul Cuffee an 18-0 shutout on Monday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Raiders considering their two-run performance the contest before.
Taylor Kane was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). Those eight strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and two doubles.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Genesis Morales, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs. Another player making a difference was Clara Perez, who went 1-for-2 with three runs.
Shea always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Shea pushed their record up to 5-8 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Paul Cuffee, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-11.
