Providence stacked an eighth blowout win onto their ever-increasing hoard on Friday. They never let the Chadwick Dolphins onto the board and left with an 8-0 victory. The win was nothing new for Providence as they're now sitting on four straight.
Grace Workman spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just zero earned runs on two hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Providence let Breanna Pelaez and Delailah Lopez loose on the outfield. Pelaez scored three runs and stole four bases while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances, while Lopez got on base in all five of her plate appearances with three stolen bases, three RBI, and a double. Pelaez is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now stolen at least one in the last eight games she's played. Another player making a difference was Belen Benito, who scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Providence's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 17-2. Those victories were due in large part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs per game. As for Chadwick, they haven't won a game yet this season and fell to 0-9-1.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Providence will challenge Louisville at 3:15 p.m. on Monday. Providence's pitching crew has only allowed 1.6 runs per game this season, so Louisville's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Chadwick, they will head out on the road to square off against Rio Hondo Prep at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
