Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Miami Beach). Everything went their way against the Jackson Generals on Wednesday as the Miami Beach Hi-Tides made off with a 19-2 win. Considering the Hi-Tides have won seven contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Maricela Mesarina was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out six batters over 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-2.
In other batting news, Miami Beach got a massive performance out of Violet Badran, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, four stolen bases, and five RBI. That's the most RBI Badran has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Rebecca Baldi, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI.
Miami Beach hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most three strikeouts in four consecutive matchups.
Miami Beach's victory was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-2. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 9.6 runs. As for Jackson, they are on an eight-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-4.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Miami Beach will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Hialeah at 3:00 p.m. on April 1st. Jackson will also get a bit of a break before their next game: they'll face off against Varela at 3:30 p.m. on April 10th.
