Makayla Dudley (2025) spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits and racked up 17 Ks.
At the plate, Desert Edge's win was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Kiley Hernandez (2024), who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Aliyah Fatigoni (2027) was another key contributor, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and a double.
Desert Edge pushed their record up to 6-4 with that victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Those good results were due in large part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs per game. As for Lake Havasu, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-6.
Desert Edge will have a chance to go back-to-back against Lake Havasu: the pair will be back at it again later today.
