Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Frankton). They blew past the Wapahani Raiders 15-4 on Friday. Considering the Eagles have won five matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Zoey Coppess made a splash while hitting and pitching. She struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one double. Those two RBI gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Frankton got a massive performance out of Aly Smith, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. That stolen base was Smith's first of the season. Ava Stanley was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI and two runs.
Frankton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive contests.
