With a playoff win on the line, Hernando rose to the challenge on Wednesday. They blew past the Tupelo Golden Wave 7-1. Considering the Tigers have won 15 matches by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Kate Johnson looked comfortable as she tossed four innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Macie Dever Boaz was a standout: she went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in March. Hayden Hodge was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases, one run, and one double.
Hernando always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .515. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Tupelo only posted an OBP of .320.
The win (which was Hernando's seventh in a row) raised their record to 28-1. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Tupelo, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-13.
