Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Diboll). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Chester Yellowjackets a 15-0 shutout on Friday. The Lumberjacks haven't had any issues with the Yellowjackets recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive win against them.
Brooklyn Hernandez made a splash no matter where she played. She struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one RBI.
In other batting news, Lexi Contreras was a standout: she went 2-for-3 with one home run, one triple, and two RBI. That triple was her first of the season. Emily Vasquez was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with five RBI, one triple, and one run.
Diboll always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .690. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Diboll's victory was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Chester, they now have a losing record of 4-5.
Looking ahead, Diboll will welcome Center at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Center has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.19 runs per game on average), something Diboll will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Chester, they will head out to face off against Newton at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Newton has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.5 runs per game on average), something Chester will no doubt try to take advantage of.
