Spring was not the first on the board on Tuesday, but they got there more often. They put the hurt on the MacArthur Generals with a sharp 17-1 win. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won ten matches by ten runs or more so far this season.
Spring got a great performance from Mikayla Zepeda as she pitched five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. Zepeda has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Keona Jackson, who scored four runs and stole four bases while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Hailey Jones-Calais, who scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances.
Spring was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .448. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .429 or higher in five consecutive contests.
Spring's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-8. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.6 runs on average over those games. As for MacArthur, their defeat ended a four-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 10-10-1.
Looking ahead, Spring will host Dekaney at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The Wildcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 17.69 runs per game on average), something the Lions will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for MacArthur, they will head out to take on Westfield at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
