Horizon Honors had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. Everything went their way against the Willcox Cowboys on Tuesday as they made off with a 12-2 victory. Considering the Eagles have won 15 contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Audriana Anglada made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off eight hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and two doubles. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in February.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Nicole Topete, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. Another player making a difference was Josie Barden, who went 3-for-4 with two runs and one double.
Horizon Honors always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .576. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Willcox only posted an OBP of .391.
The win (which was Horizon Honors' 13th in a row) raised their record to 21-1. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Willcox, their defeat dropped their record down to 20-10.
Coming up, Horizon Honors will take on Heritage Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Eagles 3, the Heroes 3) so any runs scored will be well earned. Willcox does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
