Skyline had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Bothell on Wednesday. The Spartans blew past the Cougars 12-4. The Spartans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matches by seven runs or more this season.
Abby Haapala spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on three hits and racked up 16 Ks.
On the hitting side, Shea Staley was a standout: she fired off two home runs, three RBI, and one stolen base while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. Emma Kell was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run and four RBI.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Skyline lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in March.
Skyline has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.9 runs on average over those games. As for Bothell, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-9.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Skyline beat the Cougars by a score of 16-6 later that day.
