Lakewood won the last time they faced Sehome and things went their way on Saturday too. The Cougars blew past the Mariners 11-1. The match marked the Cougars' most dominant win of the season.

Katie Krueger made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out eight over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with four runs, two stolen bases, and three RBI. She also put up a triple, which was her first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Riley Pevny, who went 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. Emma Tocco also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

The victory made it two in a row for Lakewood and bumps their season record up to 4-6. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Sehome, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-7 record this season.
