Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hurley). They were the clear victors by a 19-4 margin over the Verona Wildcats on Monday. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matches by seven runs or more this season.
Addy Maxwell was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base.
In other batting news, Madi Conrad was a standout: she got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Jaema Schimmels was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base.
Hurley always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .742. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Hurley is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.4 runs over those games. As for Verona, they are on a 14-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-14.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Hurley will square off against Blue Eye at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bulldogs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 12 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
