Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Troy). They were the clear victor by a 19-1 margin over West on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for Troy, who have now won 11 matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Isabella Garcia made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over four innings pitched. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs and five RBI while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. That's the most home runs she has posted over her last 15 contests.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jae Jae Phillips, who fired off two home runs, four runs, and five RBI while going 3-for-3. The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in RBI. Another player making a difference was Ryleigh Amato, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
Troy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .618. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as West only posted an OBP of .188.
Troy has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. West's loss dropped their record down to 9-11-1.
Troy will have a chance to go back-to-back against West: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
