Kenedy had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 16-run drubbing they dealt Pettus on Friday. The Lions were the clear victors by a 19-3 margin over the Eagles. The Lions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matches by eight runs or more this season.

Isabella Ortiz and Madison Byron did most of the damage at the plate: Ortiz scored four runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances, while Byron scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. Those four runs gave Ortiz a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Chloe Davila, who scored two runs and stole two bases.

Kenedy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .655. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .545 or higher in three consecutive games.

Kenedy's victory ended a four-game drought on the road and puts them at 16-10-1. As for Pettus, their defeat was their sixth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-16.

Looking ahead, Kenedy will square off against Skidmore-Tynan at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bobcats' pitching crew has only allowed 2.8 runs per game this season, so the Lions' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Pettus, they will take on Woodsboro at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Woodsboro will roll in looking for their 14th straight win, something Pettus surely won't give up without a fight.
