Lexington barely beat Bob Jones the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Tigers blew past the Patriots 8-1 on Friday. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 matchups by seven runs or more this season.

Lauren Johnson looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 24 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Lexington got a massive performance out of Kk Simko, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Carly Williams, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.

Lexington was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. The last time their batting average was this high was in their last ten games.

Lexington is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-10-2 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for Bob Jones, they are on a ten-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-28.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Lexington will take on Westview at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Bob Jones, they will be playing at home against Kate Duncan Smith DAR at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
