Wendell had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Declo on Tuesday. The Trojans blew past the Hornets 14-7. The result was nothing new for the Trojans, who have now won nine contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
Breanna Comstock spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and three unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Jace Olmos was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four runs, and two stolen bases. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March. Sophie Mattix was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Wendell kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive games.
Wendell's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-5. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.2 runs over those games. As for Declo, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-7 record this season.
Wendell will be playing at home against Melba at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Mustangs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 12 runs per game on average), something the Trojans will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Declo, they wasted no time getting back out on the field and have already played their next contest, a 17-0 victory against West Side on the 16th.
