Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cozad). They blew past the Lexington Minutemen 17-6 on Tuesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Haymakers considering their one-run performance the game before.
Clatyn Fleharty was a standout: she fired off three home runs and eight RBI while going 3-for-3. The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in home runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Aubrey Hammerlun, who scored four runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Cozad always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .656. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Cozad's victory bumped their record up to 6-11. As for Lexington, they dropped their record down to 1-17 with that loss, which was their 14th straight on the road dating back to last season.
Cozad will venture away from home to challenge Northwest on Thursday. Northwest is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.3 runs per game this season. As for Lexington, they will face off against Chase County on Monday.
