Sarasota had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 19-run drubbing they dealt Sickles on Friday. Sarasota never let Sickles get on the board and left with a 19-0 win. The Sailors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight games by nine runs or more this season.

Ashlan Guengerich was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in February.

In other batting news, Sarasota got a massive performance out of Mady Pint, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and three RBI. Another player making a difference was Sommer Speers, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and one double.

Sarasota always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Sickles only posted an OBP of .000.

Sarasota has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.7 runs over those games. Sickles' defeat dropped their record down to 6-10.

Sarasota didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next matchup, a 9-1 win against Westminster Academy on the 28th. As for Sickles, they have also already played their next game, a 9-8 loss against Belleview on the 28th.
