While Spring put up plenty of runs on Wednesday, the same can't be said for Aldine. Spring put the hurt on Aldine with a sharp 16-0 win. Considering the Lions have won seven matches by more than nine runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Mikayla Zepeda looked comfortable as she pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. That's the first time she hasn't allowed a single hit since back in February.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Hailey Jones-Calais, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in February of 2024. Jordan Harrold was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles.

Spring always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .679. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Aldine only posted an OBP of .000.

The victory was the sixth in a row for Spring, bringing their record up to 9-8. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Aldine, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-14.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Spring will head out to face off against Westfield at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Westfield has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 19.63 runs per game on average), something Spring will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Aldine, they will venture away from home to challenge Humble at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday. Aldine is facing Humble at the right time seeing as Humble is stuck on a five-game losing streak.
