Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Waverly). They were the clear victors by a 20-7 margin over the Minford Falcons on Wednesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Tigers with their most commanding win of the season.
Lexi Smith was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out six over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with one RBI.
