It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Alisal ultimately got the result they hoped for on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the King City Mustangs with a sharp 8-2 win. The Trojans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 matchups by six runs or more this season.
Nevaeh Lopez was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out ten over eight innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with two runs.
Lopez wasn't the only one making solid contact as seven players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Iliana Cruz, who went 1-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI. Aaliyah Ruiz was another, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI.
Alisal kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive games.
Alisal pushed their record up to 18-5 with the victory, which was their ninth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for King City, their loss dropped their record down to 15-10.
