After losing to Morehead the last time they met, McMichael decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. McMichael was the clear victor by a 9-2 margin over Morehead on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Phoenix, who have now won seven matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

Lindsay Redmon spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, McMichael got a massive performance out of Kora Ingle, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Betsy Taylor, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4.

McMichael was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Morehead only posted a batting average of .259.

McMichael's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-2. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for Morehead, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6.

Looking ahead, McMichael will square off against Walkertown at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. McMichael's pitchers better be ready for this one: Walkertown has averaged an impressive 8.5 runs per game this season. As for Morehead, they will welcome T.W. Andrews at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. T.W. Andrews has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.5 runs per game on average), something Morehead will no doubt try to take advantage of.
