Matoaca's rock-solid pitchers showed up for the team's fifth consecutive shutout on Friday. They never let the Hopewell Blue Devils get on the board and left with a 15-0 win. Considering the Warriors have won nine contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Abby Davis and Kaylee Hodges were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Davis struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). Meanwhile, Hodges tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season. At the plate, Davis got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs and one RBI, while Hodges went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run and one double. Hodges also put up a run, which was her first of the season.
In other batting news, Raven Crabtree was a standout: she went a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs and two stolen bases. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Hayden Longacre, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run and two RBI.
Matoaca kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 18 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.2 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 10.
Matoaca has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.1 runs on average over those games. As for Hopewell, their loss was their fifth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 6-15.
As of now, neither Matoaca nor the Blue Devils have any future games scheduled.
