Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bland). They blew past the Campbell Indians 27-1 on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Brookelynn Boren-Floyd and Makila Watson were a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Boren-Floyd tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Watson tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. That's the fewest hits Boren-Floyd has allowed since back in February. At bat, Boren-Floyd scored four runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3, while Watson went 2-for-3 with one home run, seven RBI, and two runs. What's more, Boren-Floyd posted three RBI, the most she's had since back in February.
In other batting news, Natalyn Luper was incredible, scoring four runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Those four runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Peyton Neesmith, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
The victory (which was Bland's third in a row) raised their record to 6-10. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 18.0 runs over those games. As for Campbell, they dropped their record down to 0-8 with the defeat, which was their third straight at home.
