Post Falls came tearing into Tuesday's matchup with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Lakeland Hawks, sneaking past 9-7. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 12-7 on Tuesday.
Rylan Morrison spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and four unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up eight Ks.
On the hitting side, Post Falls let Sienna Williams and Natalie Stroud run wild. Williams went 4-for-5 with one home run, three RBI, and one double, while Stroud went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. That's the most runs Stroud has posted since back in March. Kulani Peahu-Michael was another key player, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Post Falls lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. They are a perfect 3-0 when they post two or more home runs.
Post Falls' win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-8. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Lakeland, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-12 record this season.
Coincidentally, Post Falls and Lakeland will both be playing Coeur d'Alene the next time they take the field. The Trojans will host the Vikings at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, while the Hawks will host them at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.
