Westlake won the last time they faced Mays and things went their way on Saturday too. The Lions blew past the Raiders 16-3. Considering the Lions have won four games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Lauryn Chapman made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. Chapman was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in four of her seven plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and one triple.

In other batting news, Westlake got a massive performance out of Amariyah Lambert, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with four stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. Those three RBI gave Lambert a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Tionna Edwards, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.

Westlake hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Mays struck out 11 times.

The win made it two in a row for Westlake and bumps their season record up to 4-1-1.
