Thunderbird won the last time they faced Goldwater and things went their way on Wednesday too. The Titans blew past the Bulldogs 16-2. The Titans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 contests by six runs or more this season.
Addison Hodge was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent : she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
In other batting news, Thunderbird let Brooke Casey and Lily Rakich run wild. Casey scored three runs while going 2-for-4, while Rakich scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. What's more, Casey posted three RBI, the most she's had since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Rachel Cavanaugh, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
