After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Cupertino, Palo Alto was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They put the hurt on the MacDonald Condor with a sharp 14-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Vikings, who have now won six matchups by nine runs or more so far this season.
Kira Tzeng made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Tzeng was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
In other batting news, Kendall Butler was incredible, going 3-for-4 with five RBI, three doubles, and two runs. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Kensie Pao, who went 2-for-4 with three runs, one double, and one RBI.
Palo Alto kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Palo Alto pushed their record up to 10-8 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.5 runs over those games. As for MacDonald, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-9.
Coincidentally, Palo Alto and MacDonald will both be playing Lynbrook the next time they take the field. The Condor will head out to face the Vikings at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, while the Vikings will head out to face them at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
