Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask McDowell). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Warren Dragons a 16-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Trojans have won nine contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Emma Mickel made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two triples, two runs, and one RBI. Those two triples gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Isabelle Nageli was a standout: she got on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs, one triple, and one RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Gabriella Deluca, who went 1-for-2 with one home run and two RBI.
McDowell always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .815. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
McDowell has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-2 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Warren, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-6.
Looking ahead, McDowell will head out to challenge Titusville at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for Warren, they will welcome Harbor Creek at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Huskies will roll in looking for their ninth straight victory, something the Dragons surely won't give up without a fight.
