Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Royal). They blew past the Connell Eagles 23-5 on Tuesday. Considering the Knights have won 11 contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Jill Allred was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off seven hits. Allred was also stellar in the batter's box, going 5-for-6 with three runs, four RBI, and one stolen base. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Royal got a massive performance out of Lily Delarosa, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Another player making a difference was Hali Christensen, who got on base in three of her five plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and three RBI.
Royal was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .378. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .357 or higher in four consecutive matchups.
Royal's victory was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 14-3. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for Connell, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 9-6.
Royal will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Eagles: the pair will be back at it again later today.
