It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Leakey had no problem doing just that on Friday. Everything went their way against the D'Hanis Cowboys as they made off with a 20-8 win. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 18 matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Anna (AK) Fortner made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up four earned (and four unearned) runs off six hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 15 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
In other batting news, Leakey let Katie Salazar and Kourtney Rodriguez run wild. Salazar went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base, while Rodriguez got on base in all five of her plate appearances with four runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Those four hits gave Salazar a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Hayden Rimkus, who earned two RBI, four runs, and one stolen base.
Leakey was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .567. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in four consecutive contests.
