Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask McDonough). They put the hurt on the Mundy's Mill Tigers with a sharp 40-25 win on Friday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Warhawks needed considering they were shutout in their previous contest.
The team relied heavily on Kylei Buffington, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with a home run, three stolen bases, and seven RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Audrianna Bennett, who got on base in five of her six plate appearances with five runs, five RBI, and a stolen base.
