Western strolled into their game on Tuesday with a perfect record and they left with the same. They came out on top against the Hamilton Heights Huskies by a score of 9-6. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Panthers also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.
Lucy George spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and two unearned) runs on 13 hits and racked up 14 Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jocelyn Jeffers, who fired off two home runs and three RBI while going 4-for-4. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Brynley Erb, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3.
Jeffers wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Western lost a few balls and finished the game with four home runs. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hamilton Heights didn't launched any home runs.
Western's win was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-0. The team's perfect season has a lot to do with their hitting performance: the team's won by an average of 9.7 runs thus far. As for Hamilton Heights, they moved to 3-3 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
Western will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Huskies: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
