After losing to Walhalla the last time they met, West-Oak decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. West-Oak was the clear victor by a 9-3 margin over Walhalla on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Warriors, who have now won six games by six runs or more so far this season.
Abi Blackwell was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching seven innings while giving up three earned runs off seven hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-5 with one double and one RBI.
In other batting news, Cassie Stoltzfus was a standout: she went 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. That home run marked the first that she launched this season. Kylie Perkins was another key player, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one RBI.
The victory made it two in a row for West-Oak and bumps their season record up to 7-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 3 runs in those games. As for Walhalla, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-5.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. West-Oak will take on Dixie at 7:30 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (West-Oak 2.2, Dixie 1.6) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Walhalla, they will square off against Berea at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Berea has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 6.78 runs per game on average), something Walhalla will no doubt try to take advantage of.
