It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Lexington had no problem doing just that on Friday. They blew past the Jourdanton Indians/Squaws 10-4. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 games by six runs or more this season.
Taylor Akin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on eight hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Maya Bell, who went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April. Teal Brockenbush was another key player, going 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI.
Lexington was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .441. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Jourdanton only posted a batting average of .286.
Lexington has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 13 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 27-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.7 runs over those games. As for Jourdanton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 25-16.
Looking ahead, Lexington will take on Coahoma at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Bulldogs will roll in looking for their 33rd straight victory, something the Eagles surely won't give up without a fight. Jourdanton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
