After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Venice, West Port was happy to have turned things around on Saturday. Everything went their way against the Sickles Gryphons as West Port made off with a 12-5 win. The Wolf Pack might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by seven runs or more this season.

Reese Leslie and Rachael McCumber did most of the damage at the plate: Leslie scored two runs while going 5-for-5, while McCumber scored a run while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. Those five hits gave Leslie a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Ashley Zimmerman, who scored two runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.

West Port hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Sickles struck out seven times.

The victory snapped West Port's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 6-10 record. As for Sickles, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-13 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. West Port will host Wildwood at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. West Port's pitchers better be ready for this one: Wildwood has averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season. As for Sickles, they will welcome Blake at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Blake has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.9 runs per game on average), something Sickles will no doubt try to take advantage of.
