Downingtown West had already won seven in a row dating back to last season (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.6 runs), and they went ahead and made it eight on Tuesday. They never let the Henderson Warriors onto the board and left with a 17-0 victory. That's more bragging rights for Downingtown West, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Addison Carter looked comfortable as she tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (she also didn't allow any walks). Kiri Weidner relieved her and did a solid job, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.
On the hitting side, Emma Ahlborn was a standout: she went 1-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple. Another player making a difference was Lizzie Kern, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.
On Henderson's side, they saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Emma Jordan, who went 1-for-2 with a double.
Downingtown West pushed their record up to 2-0 with that win, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season.
