Those four stolen bases gave Escolar a new career-high. Audrey Kang was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Silver Creek had to kick off their season on the road on Tuesday, but they showed no ill effects. They never let Lynbrook get on the board and left with a 21-0 win. The victory continues a trend for the Raiders in their matchups with the Vikings: they've now won three in a row.
Like Presentation, Silver Creek also got a great game from a two-way player: Evangelina Cuevas. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. Cuevas was also big at the plate, going 4-for-5 with two stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jessenia 'Taco' Garcia, who went 3-for-5 with four runs, four RBI, and one triple. Another player making a difference was Malerie Ramirez, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with four runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Silver Creek always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .718. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lynbrook only posted an OBP of .167.
Presentation was able to grind out a solid win over Silver Creek in their previous matchup back in May of 2021, winning 6-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
