Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Oxford). Everything went their way against the Tome Titans on Tuesday as they made off with a 13-3 win. The high-scoring effort was just what the Hornets needed considering they were shut out in their previous match.
Ericka Ortega was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched. She has been consistent : she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple was her first of the season.
In other batting news, Grace Allen was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and one double. That double marked the first that she hit this season. Another player making a difference was Liliana Van Zyl, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
Oxford kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Tome only managed two hits.
