After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Manteca, Le Grand was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over the West Wolfpack. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won 13 games by six runs or more so far this season.
Ava Avila was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 12 over six innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 19 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, one triple, and one run.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Aaliyah Ceja, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high. Crystal Manzo was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
Le Grand was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .417. They are a perfect 10-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.
Le Grand is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 14 matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 14-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.9 runs on average over those games. As for West, their defeat was their seventh straight at home, which dropped their record down to 4-15.
