The University Wildcats are taking a road trip to take on the Fairfax Lions at 2:30 p.m. on Monday. University is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.6 runs per game this season.
University fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against Hamilton on Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 9-4 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Yankees. The Wildcats have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Kayla Anzora was huge no matter where she played even without the win. On the mound, she struck out 14 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and three unearned) runs off seven hits. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 5.2 strikeouts per game. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one home run and two runs. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season.
Anzora wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Kayla Carpenter, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Sydney Escobar-Sanchez also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Meanwhile, Fairfax was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their 18th straight defeat dating back to last season. They lost 11-1 to Westchester.
University's record is now 4-6. As for Fairfax, their record now sits at 0-14.
Fairfax's hitters will have their work cut out for them on Monday. University has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.3 strikeouts per game. It's a different story for Fairfax, though, as they've been averaging only 3.5 strikeouts. Will University keep running through batters, or will the Lions buck the trend?
Everything went University's way against Fairfax in their previous meeting back in March, as University made off with a 12-1 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wildcats since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
