Arroyo had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Rosemead on Friday. The Knights put the hurt on the Panthers with a sharp 16-1 victory. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by eight runs or more this season.
Emily Rubalcava made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting four hits from her four at bats. Those four hits gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Melanie Borgen was excellent, going 4-for-5 with one home run. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Hailie Espinosa, who got on base in four of her six plate appearances.
Arroyo kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 21 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in four consecutive matchups.
Arroyo has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-6-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.3 runs over those games. As for Rosemead, their loss dropped their record down to 5-3.
