Baptist Prep had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Bauxite on Thursday. The Eagles put the hurt on the Miners with a sharp 13-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won seven games by six runs or more so far this season.
Macy Childers made a splash while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in nine consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Addison Highfill, who fired off two home runs, four runs, and five RBI while going 3-for-3. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in February of 2024. Another player making a difference was Brooke Ashenberger, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI and one run.
Baptist Prep always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bauxite only posted an OBP of .355.
Baptist Prep has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games. As for Bauxite, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-11.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Baptist Prep will take on Atkins at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
