11 must be Kokomo's lucky number: they beat Anderson with that score not once but twice on Saturday. The Wildkats beat the Indians by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 11-1. Considering the Wildkats have won eight contests by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Emma Lees made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. Lees was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April.
In other batting news, Kokomo got a big performance out of Alaina Thompson, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. Those three RBI gave Thompson a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Lanaya Buckner, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Kokomo always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .552. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive matches.
Kokomo is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a massive bump to their 15-10 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for Anderson, they dropped their record down to 5-10 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road.
Kokomo and Anderson are set to take part in some playoff action in their next matches.
