In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Rachel Swenson, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Karis Jones was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-1.
Southwest Christian School has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-2-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. Paschal's loss dropped their record down to 3-8.
