South Lakes waltzed into their game on Saturday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They walked away with a 7-4 win over the Herndon Hornets. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Seahawks also won the last time the pair played back in March of 2024.
Gracie De La Cruz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on four hits and racked up 11 Ks. Those 11 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.
On the hitting side, Meagan Maguire was excellent, going a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI. Another player making a difference was Kayla Rudolph, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-4.
South Lakes hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least five batters in six consecutive contests.
South Lakes pushed their record up to 7-1 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.7 runs over those games. As for Herndon, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season.
Coincidentally, South Lakes and Herndon will both be playing Oakton the next time they take the field. The Hornets will head out to face the Cougars at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, while the Seahawks will host them at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
