Carroll won the last time they faced Woodlan and things went their way on Friday too. The Chargers put the hurt on the Warriors with a sharp 9-3 win. The Chargers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matches by six runs or more this season.

Taylor Danley made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double.

In other batting news, Alexis Pee and Kaelyn Kinsey did most of the damage at the plate: Pee got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases and three runs, while Kinsey went 3-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. Those three runs gave Pee a new career-high. Tessa Patterson was another key player, going 1-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Carroll was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .407. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Woodlan only posted a batting average of .214.

Carroll has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-4-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games. As for Woodlan, their loss dropped their record down to 20-4.

Coming up, Carroll will be playing at home against Hamilton Southeastern at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Woodlan, they will head out to face off against Garrett at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. The Warriors' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Railroaders have averaged an impressive 7.3 runs per game this season.
