Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Buchanan). They were the clear victors by a 14-3 margin over the Clovis East Timberwolves on Friday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Bears needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.
Brooklyn Ainsworth spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on seven hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Sammie Kulak, who went 3-for-4 with five RBI, two doubles, and one run. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March. Addy Schafer was another key player, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with two RBI, one run, and one double.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Buchanan kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Clovis East only managed eight hits.
Buchanan has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That lines up perfectly with their 18-6 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Clovis East, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-6-1.
