Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Phoenix Christian). Everything went their way against the Fountain Hills Falcons on Tuesday as they made off with a 33-4 victory. The Cougars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 matchups by eight runs or more this season.
Karly Van Metre was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in five of her six plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
In other batting news, Hannah Fisher and Brianna Guerrero did most of the damage at the plate: Fisher got on base in all six of her plate appearances with three stolen bases, five runs, and two doubles, while Guerrero got on base in four of her six plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most stolen bases Guerrero has posted since back in April of 2025. Another player making a difference was Madison Shores, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Phoenix Christian was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .741. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .310 or higher in seven consecutive contests.
Phoenix Christian's win was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 14-5. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.7 runs over those games. As for Fountain Hills, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-3.
Looking ahead, Phoenix Christian will venture away from home to take on Northland Prep Academy at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Cougars' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Spartans have averaged an impressive 14.8 runs per game this season. As for Fountain Hills, they will be playing in front of their home fans against ALA - Mesa North at 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday. The Mavericks have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 22.6 runs per game on average), something the Falcons will no doubt try to take advantage of.
