Lake Center Christian won the last time they faced Laurel and things went their way on Saturday too. The Tiger were the clear victors by a 17-6 margin over the Gators. The result was nothing new for the Tiger, who have now won six matches by 11 runs or more so far this season.
Shelby McCartney was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she pitched five innings while giving up three earned (and three unearned) runs off four hits. McCartney was even better at the plate, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with five RBI, one stolen base, and one run. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jillian Miller, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in May of 2024. Kaya Zook was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
Lake Center Christian kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They are 5-1 when they post 11 or more hits.
Lake Center Christian has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-7 record this season.
