Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Haven). They put the hurt on the Russell Broncos with a sharp 19-3 win on Monday. Considering the Wildcats have won 14 contests by more than seven runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Avery Brawner made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in nine consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-5 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Haven got a massive performance out of Morgan O'Neal, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most RBI O'Neal has posted since back in April. Emilyn Reese was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs.
Haven kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 19 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Haven is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.4 runs over those games. As for Russell, their defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 2-9.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Haven beat the Broncos by a score of 21-0 later that day.
