Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lake Ridge). They put the hurt on the North Crowley Panthers with a sharp 19-1 victory on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Abigail Milligan tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched.
On the hitting side, Ryan Roberts was a standout: she went 2-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and one triple. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Julia Harper, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with two runs, two doubles, and one triple.
Lake Ridge always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as North Crowley only posted an OBP of .211.
Lake Ridge's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-6. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for North Crowley, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-11-1 record this season.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Lake Ridge will welcome Mansfield Legacy at 7:00 p.m. on March 19th. As for North Crowley, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Weatherford at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
