Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask West-Oak). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Pendleton Bulldogs a 15-0 shutout on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Warriors, who have now won nine matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Abi Blackwell was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with four RBI and one double. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Brylee Whitfield was a standout: she went 2-for-4 with four RBI and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Teagan Whitfield, who got on base in two of her three plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
West-Oak always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .567. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
West-Oak is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games. As for Pendleton, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-12.
Looking ahead, West-Oak will take on Crescent at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Tigers will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something the Warriors surely won't give up without a fight. Pendleton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
