Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Douglas). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Reno Huskies an 18-0 shutout on Friday. Considering the Tigers have won four matches by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Haylie Pledger made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over four innings pitched. That one hit allowed gave her a new career-low. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Camryn McLelland, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. Annie Hill was another key player, going 2-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and one stolen base.
Douglas always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .545. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Reno only posted an OBP of .077.
Douglas is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.4 runs over those games. Reno's defeat dropped their record down to 1-14-1.
