Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Glenwood). They put the hurt on the Loachapoka Indians with a sharp 20-1 victory on Monday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Gators considering their two-run performance the matchup before.
Kaitlyn Kirkland made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in strikeouts (five). She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ava Burns, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Laney Caro, who scored two runs while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Glenwood always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .933. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Glenwood is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-17-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Loachapoka, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-9.
